Spirit Week Concluded

Submitted by david.thacker on Mon, 09/23/2013 - 12:33

Friday, the final day of Spirit Week, was set aside as Sports Spirit Day.  Students dressed either in their favorite team’s jersey or in the gear for their favorite sport.

            As you can imagine, because it was rivalry week between BYU and the U of U, many students were dressed in either blue or red.  Pro football, baseball, and basketball jerseys added to the mix.

            However, we found these four students displayed an unusual amount of spirit toward their favorite activities: martial arts, motocross, soccer (go Real!), and football.

Fun Run

Submitted by david.thacker on Mon, 09/23/2013 - 11:53

Spirit week ended with a Fun Run.  Runners form all grades as well as faculty members tied on their running shoes and ran a mini cross country event of 1.8 miles.

The top finishers—all with a time of 10:39—were Heston Andersen, Devin King, and Nate Hanson.  Mrs. Vanessa Heber, one of our English teachers, was just a few strides off the lightning pace set by these three young men, and was the first faculty finisher.  All those who finished were given bananas and water—just the thing a runner craves.

Below are the top runners in each grade level by gender.

School Spirit Week Continued - Hipster Day!

Submitted by david.thacker on Fri, 09/20/2013 - 06:43

Vintage fashions, old school sneakers, thick rimmed glasses.  If you were on the SFJH campus today, that’s what you would have seen.

And moustaches.

It was “Hipster Day;” a chance to be uber cool and ultra hip.  Hipsters are independent thinkers.  They prize creativity, intelligence, art, and witty conversation.  But even if “hipsterism” isn’t your thing, it sure is fun to dress hip for a day.

School Spirit Week Continued - Crazy Hair Day!

Submitted by david.thacker on Fri, 09/20/2013 - 06:41

            It may have been a minimum day on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, but was maximum WILD when it came to hair.

            Students at SFJH came out en mass with hair that was teased, jelled, combed, curled, sprayed, braided, wrapped, rubber-banded, and otherwise decorated into some of the wildest styles ever seen.

            One big question remains—how do you wash out all that gel?

Spirit Week Continues - Duct Tape Day!

Submitted by david.thacker on Thu, 09/19/2013 - 12:34

It’s been said by some that the Lord made the earth, but the pieces are held together by duct tape. 

What do you get when you give McGyver some bamboo and a few rolls of duct tape?  An airplane of course. 

This tenaciously sticky, miraculously versatile tape has been in the handyman’s tool boxes for decades, but only recently has its use been exalted to an art form.

We’ve Got Spirit!  How About You?

            Students at Spanish Fork Junior High are celebrating Spirit Week September 16th through the 20th.

            On Friday September 13, the SFJH Lobo Leadership got the student body chanting, clapping, and stomping during the Spirit Assembly.  Students competed to see which section had the most spirit, the week’s activities were introduced, and the faculty competed in Minute to Win It games.
