Middle school or junior high school serves as a "bridge" between elementary school and high school. The terms can be used in different ways in different countries, sometimes interchangeably. In Chinese language, especially China, Taiwan and Hong Kong but also in Italian (= scuola media), middle school is the synonym to secondary school. Thus in some governmental and institutional contexts, "middle school" may be used as no more than an alternative name to "junior high school", or it might imply a pedagogical shift away from primary and secondary school practices. The concept of the name junior high dates back to 1909 with the founding of Indianola Junior High School in Columbus, Ohio. The concept of the name "middle school" dates back to 1950 from Bay City, Michigan.

It is nearing the end of the school year and our middle school is planning a field day. There are around 200 kids in all from 5th grade - 8th grade, boys and girls. We (the kids) have been divided up into 12 teams and need 6 games to play. So far we have kickball, dodge ball, capture the flag, and an obstacle course. What else could we do that would be fun for the majority of kids? Other activites that are not included in the 6 games are cake decoration and a water balloon fight or something that has to do with water. Any ideas would be very helpful! Thank you!

Q. I am a coach at a Christian school and I need songs to put in the middle school cheer squad's music for competition. I needs to be a little on the conservative side but it doesn't have to be Christian music. Any ideas? Asked by *spunky* - Sun Apr 27 13:09:15 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Low is a fun song but not always bad. Try like the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. Also ask the kids what they want!! Hope this helps!!!
