 The
Second Quarter Honor Roll Assembly was a great success. We had
so many students on the honor roll in the second quarter. The
sisterhood and brotherhood programs have encouraged many of our
students to improve in all their classes. The teachers have also
been working hard to make sure the students are learning. So we
encourage the parents to help their children succeed in the next
honor roll assembly. We hope that next quarter, every student
will be a honor roll student. (Caption by Tamera Brown and Ravenn Mathis). |

On November 1, 2007, Tamara Benbow and Zekiya Dudley, did a superb job of broadcasting the morning announcements via television. The ladies introduced "Tiger TV" to over 700 student viewers. Behind the scenes, Ms. Madolyn Johns (in charge of morning announcements) writes the scripts and preps the announcers. And amazingly, our students, Orquedia Reyes and Tania Castro-Acosta run the cameras, video mixer and sound system - - that kind of equipment is a challenge for any adult to operate. Tune in and we will load sample clips of the morning announcements from time to time. Click here to take a look! |

| Honors
students were celebrated on November 13, 2007 with an
assembly in the gymnasium. Parents and teachers alike
were invited to see their child honored with
rewards. Students who managed to get a 4.0 were rewarded
with a trophy and a medal along with a certificate.
Principal Fossett even rewarded people who had a 2.5-2.9
GPA. This reward was called "On the roll". ~Caption and slide show by Talha Siddique and Minh-Hai NGuyen ~Photographs by Orquedia Reyes, Tania Castro-Acosta, and Trevon Keene |

Mr. Wilson has been teaching at Thurgood
Marshall Middle School for several years and he knows how to
keep his students interested in the "wonders of science."
If you are looking for Mr. Wilson, you might find him outside,
in front of the school. He will probably be teaching thirty or
more students about the different species of plants. Or you
might find him in the courtyard trimming trees, planting more
flowers, or maintaining our fully stocked manmade pond. He is a
great teacher who has influenced many future scientists, doctors
and lawyers. Thank you Mr. Wilson for making Thurgood Marshall
Middle School a better place to work, study and have fun. ~Caption by Mr. Navas ~Click here for Slide Show~ |

| "Positive Behavior in Schools" or "PBIS" is a program designed to reward those students whom do the right thing. In this case, Thurgood Marshall students enjoyed a period of roller skating to music. Students who follow the rules can look forward to other rewards like watching the "Teachers versus Students" basketball game or participating in school dances and sporting events. What a great idea and it looks like the students are having a great time. Ms. Fossett said "This year wear are going to reward and recognize those students who do the right thing." Students Beware...stay off the "no-go list." Click here or on the photograph to see a slide show of this event. |
