Submitted by david.thacker on Thu, 09/22/2016 - 15:27

NOTE:  SFJH was excited to see one of its students spotlighted today in the Daily Herald.  Ms. Slade was contacted, and her story is used here with permission.

 

This summer, 12-year-old Audrey Justice was hard at work running a lemonade stand in Spanish Fork.

Audrey spent her summer vacation mixing lemonade and selling it by the cup to raise $1,000 for the Utah County Children’s Justice Center in Provo.

She said the project, which she completed in the beginning of September, taught her a lot of things including how to run a business and how to manage money.

English Language Learners Walk and Write to Grasp Prepositions

Submitted by david.thacker on Fri, 09/16/2016 - 11:41

Our very own ELL class at Spanish Fork Junior High went on a preposition walk after learning about this important part of speech.

Their sunny walk and write concluded with them coming back to the classroom and writing preposition poetry together.

Allyson helps Mrs. Thompson teach the class about prepositions by jumping over, walking around, and sitting in the garbage can!
