Welcome to our GEAR UP page.  Jehue Middle School is proud to be in partnership with California State University, San Bernardino to promote a college going atmosphere.  GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is a program designed to educate our students about college preparation and the numerous opportunities available to them in higher education.   Whether or not your son or daughter has talked about going to college before, we hope that GEAR UP inspires excitement over their futures. 

  WINTER 2006

FOLLOW THE LEADERS

The GEAR UP Leadership Committee had their first lunchtime activity on Thursday, January 19th.  With clever thinking, the group decided to hold a LIMBO ACTIVITY where the lowering of the bar represented each year of college (e.g., freshman year, sophmore year, etc) and how much more challenging it becomes.  The Jaguars enjoyed this activity, combined with Mr. Ed's DJing skills, and strived to succeed at each limbo bar.  Jaguars who made it successfully all four years were rewarded with a LIMBO certificate, encouraging them to GO PRO! 
 

AN OLE FASHIONED SCHOOL RALLY

On Wednesday, November 16th, Jehue celebrated the return of GEAR UP with a good ole fashioned lunchtime rally.  Officer Tapia and her dancers got their dancing moves into GEAR while the GEAR UP LEADERSHIP students distributed t-shirts to all the Jaguars.  Ms. Wade and Mr. Ed got the crowd jumpin with the aide of Officer Telphy and his hip hop mixin tunes.  The best part of the activity was the promise that there was much more GEAR UP to come throughout the rest of the year.

On Saturday, November 19th GEAR UP held the ANNUAL GUIE SOCCER TOURNAMENT at CSUSB.  Our team competed with representatives from the other GEAR UP schools across the Inland Empire.  Both the boys and girls represented beautifully, showing not only excellent sportsmanship, but true pride in their school and how they played the game.  The Jehue Community is proud of each and every one of you, and special recognition goes out to Coaches Quiros and Hamner for their participation and support in getting you prepared for this huge event.  Way to go!!!

(PAST GEAR UP EVENT)

GEAR UP ACADEMIC COUNSELING AND SUPPORT OCTOBER 2004
WEDNESDAY EVENINGS 6:15 TO 7:30PM

We were pleased to welcome Dr. Donna Schnorr's ECLG 658 Career Counseling Class to Jehue this past fall.  This was a class of Cal State San Bernardino students working toward earning their Masters of Science in Educational Counseling.  These interns provided career and academic counseling to our Jaguars in hopes of fostering a desire to attend college and follow in their footsteps of  graduate school.  Jaguars were also encouraged to bring their schoolwork with them to receive one on one support in areas that they may struggle in.  Parents were invited to sit in and participate as well.  Feedback from the students participating was very positive.  Note: This was an 8 week program that ended on December 1st.  We look forward to introducing this program to our next round of Jaguars in October of 2005.  Who knows, this program could produce the next round of doctors, lawyers, and talk show hosts among our community. 

In this program, students are presented with activities geared toward career development, self awareness, likes and dislikes, and overall interests.  They are then shown how  to relate this information to particular careers. 

GEAR UP stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs. We are pleased to welcome all of the middle schools in Rialto Unified to the program starting this school year and we look forward to interacting with your leadership teams. Every Thursday at Jehue is GEAR UP Thursday. Students wear their GEAR UP T-Shirts and receive incentives for their participation.

Note: It is not too late to sign up your child for GEAR UP. Please contact Senida Wade at ext. 1106 if you have any questions or concerns.      ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
