Background History

Our school, which opened in 1976, was named for Julius Marks,

whose son had given land to the city of Lexington to build a sanitarium

with the agreement that a school be named for his father. The residents

of the Georgetown Road area wanted to keep the name Booker T.

Washington for a school being constructed on another site, so the

Marks' heirs gave permission to use their name for the next school.

Mission Statement“The mission of Julius Marks

Elementary is to educate our students in a positive learning environment that empowers all students to successfully meet the challenges of an ever changing society.”

The students, parents, families and staff make

school special. All groups work together to ensure

learning and to make events like our annual fall

carnival a success.

Students are expected to learn at high levels through

engaging, hands-on instruction. Inquiry projects are

developed through authentic, real-world writing.

Technologies, including document cameras, are used in

every-day instruction for empowering students.

What makes our school special

Band and orchestra are available during the school day,

and Julius Marks offers many after-school activities including

chorus, Girls on the Run, Academic Challenge teams, BMOR

(Black Males on the Rise) and many more. Through such

programs, students are ensured the opportunity to extend their

learning during and after school.

Why I Chose ProgramI chose this organization because

helping people is what I love to do, especially helping out with kids because they are the future.

New Media ToolsThey are using both face book

and twitter.

FacebookAnyone over the age of 13 with a valid

email address could join Facebook. Today, Facebook is the world's largest social network, with over a billion users worldwide. Facebook is the world's most popular social networking website.

Facebook It makes it easy for you to connect and share

with your family and friends online. You can send and receive messages from people, chat, upload picture and videos; post information to different pages, keep in touch with people and connect to other media outlets from Facebook and it also has even helped the web become more open and social.

TwitterTwitter is a service for friends, family, and coworkers to

communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick,

frequent messages. People write short updates, often called "Tweets"

of 140 characters or fewer. These messages are posted to your

profile, sent to your followers, and are searchable on Twitter search.

How Effective Both Facebook & Twitter is not as

effective for Julius Marks. The pages are based on all schools in

Fayette county with broad information about what's going on around school in the counties .

How Effective After talking to the principle and assistance

at the school, they all came to the conclusion that they need to get up to date with the social media.

I will help assist them and get them up to date with the new social media.
