Last week our school participated in Penny Wars. Penny Wars is a competitive game of donating change and money. The competition was between second period classes. Each class had a jar to collect their money. The objective is to have the most silver and paper money. Pennies count as negative points. We had a leaderboard of three teachers. The three-second period classes that won could choose between hot chocolate, donuts, or a pizza party.

The student council sold Christmas Grams during the past week. The Christmas Grams are a great way to spread Christmas cheer throughout the school! 

Students could by candy bars, fun size bars, or candy canes for their friends and classmates. They will be delivered by the student council. 

What could be better than having a fun treat delivered to you by a classmate or friend? It is such a fun idea and a great way to spread Christmas cheer!

PENNY WARS WAS A SUCCESS!

Penny Wars was wildly successful this year! We had two very enthusiastic classes that worked hard until the very last day to take the win and earn bragging rights until next year. Mr. Carlson took FIRST PLACE and Mr. Whiting came in SECOND PLACE. Overall, our school earned over $3,000 that will be given to Nebo Credit Union’s Warm the Soles Program. This will provide hundreds of new shoes to students in need. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!

SFJHS 7th Grade Christmas Orchestra Concert!

Submitted by david.thacker on Fri, 12/13/2019 - 14:59

SFJHS had their 7th grade Christmas orchestra concert! And it was a lot of fun (like always). 

The orchestra played lots of different songs. The first song they played is called “Appalachian Hymn.” It is reminiscent of other traditional songs, and popular folk tunes. 

Another song they played was called “North Pole March.” It gives a reminder of some well-known Christmas songs. There was even a Santa walking up and down the isles throwing toys to the little kids. They then played the well-known Christmas song, “What Child Is This.”
