This Saturday, October 3rd, the baseball team will be having a car wash from 12:00-3:00 at West End School (enter at the Bowling Ave entrance).

Baseball practice/try-outs will continue every Saturday from 4:00-6:00 at Elmington Park through October 24th.  The team is open to anybody in the 5th through 8th grades.  If you are planning to try-out in the Spring, you need to come this fall.  For more information, contact Coach Steve Orr at 568-5212 or akelapack17@bellsouth.net.

Belmont-Hillsboro Neighbors is having their Home Tour on October 17th, and would like to see if J.T. Moore would be interested in hosting a “lemonade stand”. It would consist of setting up along the tour route (Belmont Blvd.) and selling whatever goodies you would like. All proceeds that you raise would go directly to our school. Please contact Carey Morgan if you are interested in coordinating this fun opportunity!

All JTM students who show their school ID at the game will receive free admission.  This is Homecoming and Senior Night at Hillsboro. The game begins at 7:00 pm at the Hillsboro High School football field.  Be sure to mark your calendars, get several families together and head over for the game.  It is a great way to support our neighborhood schools and to have a great time visiting with friends.  Go Burros!

Congratulations JT MOORE! We went more than $5000 over our GOAL and collected a grand total of $42,196. Thank you for everyone who turned in a pledge card and showed your support for JT Moore. We now will serve ice cream sundaes at lunch one day (day to be determined) and Ms. Pittman and Dr. Hughes will be slimed with whipped cream and chocolate syrup! We will announce the class winner of the pizza party later on this week – the class that turned in the most pledge cards. Thank you for pulling together and making this year the largest campaign effort ever!

Depression among adolescents has increased significantly over the last decade.  Most parents are unaware of their teen’s struggles until a suicide attempt has been made. To hear more about this important topic, come to the October 8 PTO meeting at 6:00 p.m. in the library where our own Mary Anne Severino will speak on this subject. (more…)
