Olympic Tug O’ War
The final Olympic event is the Tug O’ War! Join us this week on the quad as the teams do
battle in the ultimate test of strength. 8th grade will tug TODAY, while the 7th graders will
go at it TOMORROW. If you’ve signed up, come to the quad at the start of lunch on your
day. If not, be there to cheer on your team. This being the final event, it could decide the
eventual overall champion of the Olympics!
Binder Reminder Cover
Calling all 7th graders! Would you like your artwork to be featured on the cover of next
year’s Binder Reminder? Submit a design for La Mesa’s new Binder Reminder! Our theme
for the contest is super heroes and super powers! Please make sure your artwork is
related to this theme. All designs should be submitted to Ms. Behar in Room 451. The
deadline is March 26th, Super Lobos, so start sketching!
Book Fair Under the Sea
Have you visited the book fair yet? If not, make sure you stop by soon. There is
something for everyone at the book fair! Remember every purchase you make helps us
reach our goal of $5000. If we reach the goal, every student who bought a book will be
entered for a chance to tape Mrs. Krantz to the wall. See you at the fair!
BOOK FAIR TEACHER CHALLENGES
Your La Mesa Junior High teachers really want you to become a lifelong reader. If you
make a purchase at this week's Under the Sea book fair, you will help the school reach our
$5,000 goal of duct taping Mrs. Krantz to the wall. But there's more! To help motivate you
to get there, your teachers will perform a series of stunts on “Livin' Like Lobos.” When La
Mesa buys $1000 worth of books, Mr. Schulman will take the bread challenge, live on the
air! At $2000, Mrs. Good will attempt the saltine challenge. At $3,000, Mrs. Elvington will
take the yummy or yucky bean-boozled challenge, and at $4,000 Mr. Strauss will take the
hot pepper challenge while attempting to review his favorite book. So get to the book fair
and buy some books!
