JH Clubs & Organizations

Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is the largest interdenominational, school-based, Christian sports organization in America. FCA's goal is to see the world impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches. FCA meets the first and third Fridays of each month. Athletes and coaches are welcome to come to Mrs. Sandy Williams' classroom (room 405) before school at 7:30 for free donuts and fellowship. Reading God's word and fellowshiping with others is a great way to start your day. Lessons are taught by Coach Williams and guest speakers. FCA sponsors are Sandy Williams and Robby Williams.

Students are eligible to be considered for NJHS after completing the first semester of their 8th grade year at Pine Tree Junior High School. Eligibility is based on scholarship, leadership, service, and character. A minimum overall average of 93 is required. This average is calculated by averaging first semester of the eighth grade year and the fall and spring semester of the seventh grader year.
Students desiring to be selected for membership in NJHS should pay due attention to grades, become involved in school activities of choice, and take advantage of service opportunities. Early in the spring semester of a student's eighth grade year, students who qualify academically will be notified and given the opportunity to complete an application. This application will be used as a basis of evaluation for membership. Selection will actually be determined by the NJHS Faculty Advisory Counsel in February or early April. Students and parents will be notified of acceptance. The induction ceremony is generally held in late April.
Students who fail to qualify their eighth grade year may be considered again after the first semester of their ninth grade year. NJHS sponsor is Linda Nelson.

Student Council members have many fun and exciting activities planned for this year.

The Spanish Club promotes the Spanish language throughout the school through various activities and service projects. Spanish Club encourages a better understanding of the Spanish and Hispanic culture.

The 8th Grade Science Department would like to tell you about our Stargazer's Club. It is open to anyone interested in the stars! Our activities include identifying constellations, observing planets, stars, and nebulas through a telescope, and having a great time doing it! (One night, we thought we spotted a UFO, but it was only Saturn! Some students were disappointed that the earth was not going to be invaded by aliens.)

We have about four stargazing nights a year, usually corresponding with the 8th grade unit on space in April. Any parents and younger brothers and sisters are welcome. If there are cloudy skies or rain, the meeting will be rescheduled the following week. (Hint - if you walk outside and don't see any stars, it's cloudy!) Meetings are held in front of the band hall or behind the science wing at Pine Tree Jr. High School.

Stargazers sponsor is Karen Darby.
