The Spanish Fork Junior High Hope Squad went on a field trip today to Camp Maple Dell.

The kids got to know each other better while supporting each other on the ropes course and zip line!

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

The SFJH Counselors recently spoke to all the Freshmen Social Studies students on two topics-- getting ready to go to Spanish Fork High School and preparing for college and careers.  

This Tuesday was the first Reader’s Cafe. Reader’s Cafe is a thing the library does for the students at the Jr. High. It happens every last Tuesday of every month. If you sign up for the Reader’s Cafe, you go to the library and have a treat and listen to a teacher tell you about a few of their favorite books during pack time.

This Tuesday Mrs. Freeland spoke about five of her favorite books, while the students that signed up ate doughnuts. Mrs. Freeland likes historical fiction.

Our Lobo cross-country team performed exceptionally last Friday despite the challenging weather and intimidating rivals. 

Coach Lynn and Mitchell have enjoyed pushing the athletes to their limits during practices to prepare them for races. They are proud of the many girls and boys who finished in their record time and cheered for each other. 

They are also pleased with the boys’ team who worked together to finish 1st place against Salem, Diamond Fork and Mapleton.

This year, SFJHS is participating in the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards.

This program is the United States’ largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service.

Created in 1995 by Prudential and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), the program honors middle level and high school students for outstanding service to others at the local, state and national level.

DETENTION HAS BEGUN

Paint Problem 

Suppose you’ve made a batch of green paint by mixing 2 cans of blue paint with 7 cans of yellow paint, but it’s run out. Your little brother, trying to be helpful sees an open can of blue paint that is ¾ full. He pours the can into a big bowl, then starts mixing in yellow paint. He pours in three cans of yellow before he brings it to you. How much paint, and of what color, would you have to add to your brother’s batch of paint to fix it so it is the exact same shade of green as your original batch?

We have an amazing PTA at Spanish Fork Junior High.  In this week alone, they invited teachers to come peruse the offerings at the book fair ahead of the students; supplied us with lunch while we looked; managed a well-organized, well stocked book fair, all week long, so students could find their favorite titles; extended the fair hours, so parents could stop by during Parent/Teacher Conference Thursday night; AND fed teachers dinner prior to PTC.

They did all this with smiling faces and loving hearts!
