Submitted by david.thacker on Mon, 03/24/2014 - 11:29

On Saturday, March 15th the Lobo Band traveled to the famed De Jong Concert Hall for the BYU Band Festival in Provo. The BYU Festival was an adjudication/clinic designed to expose students to the music from several high schools and other junior highs. Students even heard the BYU Wind Symphony.  This clinic came at a very opportune time as the band was preparing for their District Assessment and future competitions.

On March 12, 90 U.S. History Students attended a Naturalization Ceremony in Salt Lake City.  The students received a better understanding of how fortunate they are to live in America and what a great country America is.  Our students witnessed what was the best day of 457 new citizens lives.  Better yet, two of our students, Hailey Hullinger and  Bennett Brinton, were privileged to speak about the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the beauty of America.

The Spanish Fork Junior High 9th grade orchestra attended the district wide orchestra assessment on March 11, 2014.  Our orchestra played extremely well, receiving a "1" superior rating with perfect marks in all categories, including tone, intonation, rhythm, expression, and articulation.  The judge Denise Willey praised the performance and worked with the group for a few minutes in perfecting a couple of crescendo markings. Well done!

Fight The New Drug!

Submitted by david.thacker on Sun, 03/09/2014 - 20:50

We all agree that drugs, alcohol, and tobacco harm the brain and are addictive.  Today, students at SFJH learned we should add one more substance to this list—pornography!

Fight the New Drug is an organization whose mission, according to its website, is “to provide individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding pornography by raising awareness on its harmful effects using science, facts, and personal accounts.”
