Here is an excellent scholarship opportunity for seventh grade students- The Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholars program. New Leaders for New Schools has formed a partnership with the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. Each year the foundation launches a nationwide search for talented seventh grade students to apply to become a Jack Kent Cooke Scholar. The application is demanding and the criteria extremely selective, but for those who are accepted the benefits are enormous. Click here for Details and Application Guidelines.

MSA Parents, thank you in advance for helping to make Maryland School Assessment (MSA) testing a great success. During the month of April there are certain dates that your student must be in attendance in order to take the MSA tests. The actual MSA will be administered county-wide on April 1-2, 8-9 and for 8th grade only, April 29-30. During these dates all conferences and school visits are discouraged. Our goal is 100% Perfect Attendance for these dates.

If you want to come and dress down, fighting is not the way!!! You have 10 days to make it right and you can come to school looking fresh and tight!!!

is an incentive program that was created in an effort to maintain a safe environment. For every ten days that our "Thurgood Marshall Students" maintain a "fight-free" environment, the students can dress down for FREE! Parents we need your help. Please talk to your children and let them know that fighting is not an option. The consequence for fighting is suspension and that's nonnegotiable. (By Thurgood Marshall Student: Mr. X).
