 Thank You PTA for Providing Audio Enhancement in Classrooms

Thank you to our PTA members and everyone that contributed to our March Madness fundraiser.  The PTA was able to donate money to install three new audio enhancement sound systems in three classrooms! The addition of audio and sound equipment greatly enhances the classroom experience for students and teachers and the PTA is grateful for everyone’s support that helped make this donation possible.

Spread the word!  SFJH has a chess club!

According to Mr. Mortimer, “There will be a chess tournament today right after school. Meet in the Cafeteria to play.” 

Mr. Mortimer and Mr. Lawrence have been hosting this club after school this term.  At this writing, this reporter doesn’t know how many more days it will be continuing—we are on end of school countdown after all—but the attendance at today’s meeting was amazing!  If you check SFJH’s Face Book page, you can watch some of the students play during a live session.

The Hope Squad went to visit some of Spanish Fork Junior High’s elementary feeder schools today. They talked to the 6th graders about what to expect in junior high and gave them some tips on how to succeed once they get here.

 Library Notice

Mrs. Kelly’s 8th Grade FACS Exploration classes have recently been learning about Child Development.  After studying about the developmental stages, positive guidance techniques, and the value of play, students held their own preschool.  They planned and prepared different learning activities and were able to teach these to younger siblings during two days of animal fun, art projects, playdough, pretend, and fun!  They knew the preschool was a success when one of the children exclaimed to his mother at the end of the day, “I never want to leave here!”

Ms. Phillips class participated in the Nebo Superstars Track & Field Day at Maple Mountain High School. The students participated in events such as, 50 yd. dash, 100 yd. dash, 200 yd. dash, 400 yd. dash, softball throw, running long jump, standing long jump, and high jump.

Many of our students placed and received medals.  The administration and counselors came and cheered us on!​
