Attention all 7th grade boys' basketball players
if you played on the A or B team, please meet in Coach Dalton's room immediately after announcements. Teachers please allow for them to come into the room and they will stay in there for all of advisory. Once again, all 7th grade boys' basketball players both A and B teams please meet in Room 29 after announcements,

Congratulations to the faculty who destroyed the students last night by the final of 845 to 55. The faculty was led in scoring by Coach Robeau who muscled in a dozen points, Coach McGhee whose shot was hitting late in the game had 10 points to increase the lead. Coach Garcia who found his inner John Stockton led the team with assists and also hit a few huge 3 pointers shots. Coach Dalton, who led the team in fouls chipped in with 9 points. The game ball though goes to Coach McKeever who was sipping out of the fountain of youth and made some tough shots, including 2 three-pointers in a row and several assists in a 5 minute span to take the lead from the 8th graders and the faculty would never trail again. Between writing office referrals, Principal Cappadona dominated the paint and intimidated the students with his great shooting, sharp elbows and rebounding. The funniest moment last night was when Coach Kidd shot for the students, luckily he missed, or else he would've been shipped back to Texas A&M. Coach Holt showed his Extreme Fighting Skills as he worked like Kevin Garnett in the low post, the guy is just plain nasty. Coach Hrabovsky played a few tough minutes along with Coach Givens they both used their massive upper and lower body strength to get some clutch rebounds. Luckily, no injuries for the teachers, every teacher had some kind of brace on last night and are probably sore today, make sure to congratulate them.
The boys teams was led by Jared Gaspard and Matthew Morris who could not miss last night but the 8th grade boys ran out of gas late in the game as the faculty continue their winning streak against the 8th grade teams.
Come and join us on Thursday as our faculty this time turns their attention to the 8th grade girls' volleyball team. Should be a great time at FJH on Thursday. Come out and cheer on your teachers as they look to spike the ball to victory, see you there.

This week we are celebrating Fire Wall Internet Safety Week.
Today we are celebrating FireWall Internet Safety Week! Even though we have been talking about the problems associated with being on the Internet, we don't want to forget all the great things it offers. The Internet can take us places we could never go and it allows us to meet people we could never meet in real life. Its vast resources far surpass any libraries we could ever visit. We could hardly do without it and get along in today's society.

So let's have fun and enjoy some of what the Internet has to offer today!

Safe Surfing!

This week we are celebrating Fire Wall Internet Safety Week.
Today's topic for FireWall Internet Safety Week is Cyberbullying. Internet bullying is not much different from bullying in the real world, except that cyberbullies can hide behind a computer instead of having to be face to face. A bully is someone who is mean and cruel and picks on someone they perceive to be weak. The Internet gives them a way to send cruel emails and Instant Messages or post untrue comments and blogs about people that everyone can see. Sometimes you know who it is, sometimes you don't.

If you are ever in a situation where you feel that someone on the Internet is being mean or spreading lies about you or anyone else, you must tell your parents. You cannot stop it by yourself and it is not OK to let it continue.

Remember ­ Keep your FireWall ON whenever you are on the Internet.

This week we are celebrating Fire Wall Internet Safety Week.
Today's topic for FireWall Internet Safety Week is Communication. An essential function of today's society is being able to communicate with friends, family, co-workers and the business community. There are many modes of communication available in today's digital world. Email, Instant Messaging, Blogs, Text Messaging and Chat Rooms allow us the ability to correspond, collaborate and communicate with people all over the world, quickly and efficiently.

However, there are drawbacks. First of all, you do not always know who you are dealing with. Unfortunately, not everyone is truthful about their identity. Secondly, because people can remain anonymous, they may say things that are mean or untrue. Another problem is that it is very easy for people to send spam and inappropriate materials through the Internet and you may receive things you have not asked for.

When you are talking, chatting or IM-ing, use good manners and common sense. Talk to your parents if you see something you know is not right.

Remember ­ Keep your FireWall ON whenever you are communicating on the Internet.
