Hogg Middle
School Library and Mrs. Cannon’s 8th grade students
have started the "Adopt a Library Shelf Program".
Students are taking pride in their school library and
adopting a certain shelf in the library. The students
come in and make sure their shelf is in order and neatly
arranged. The student’s name and picture is placed
above the shelf letting other students know they adopted
the shelf.
Mrs. Cannon’s class comes in once a week (for about 10
minutes) to spend time getting the books on their shelf
in order and shelving other books which belong in
“their” section. They also come in on their own, when
they can spare a moment.
This program has been a success and other students want
to join the Adopt a Shelf Program. Taking pride in your
school and school library is one of the many “life
lessons” taught at Hogg M.S.
Approximately
34,000 of the 50,000 high scorers in each annual
National Merit Program are named as Commended Students
on the basis of a national Selection Index score, which
is the sum of scores from the critical reading, math,
and writing skills section. Five outstanding students
from Robert E. Lee have earned this honor in the 2010
National Merit Scholarship Program. As demonstrated by
their outstanding performance in the highly competitive
program, these young men and women represent some of the
most academically talented students in our country.
Evan Gordon, son of James and Melanie Gordon; Molly
Cook, daughter of Randy and Debbie Cook; Madison Mackey,
daughter of Scott and Mary Mackey; Wendy Ji, daughter of
Honglong Ji and Runzhen Zhao; and Shelby Spell, daughter
of J and Pam Spell. (Photo above: Ji, Gordon, Spell,

together as a team.
The squad participated in daily evaluations on their
dances and cheers and earned Superior ribbons for every
evaluation. This year, UCA included a new Game Day
division in which a football game is simulated from
beginning to end to evaluate whether cheer squads know
what to do in possible game situations. Cheer squads
are required to use new material learned at camp, as
well as their own school traditions. Hubbard

all of the other middle school squads, winning a trophy

Rating Overall bringing home a Superior trophy in the

of spirit, the Hubbard cheer squad received a spirit
stick each day at camp!

nine other mascots, including several high school
mascots, winning a Superior trophy overall for her
performance at camp.

to compete against each other to come up with the best
jumper at camp. Meg Rocha, Lani McNatt, and McKinley
Justis competed and made it to the finals.
Six of the Hubbard cheerleaders, Hannah Matlock, Alix
Fiorentino, Larkin Manning, Heather Nulf, Lani McNatt,
