Submitted by david.thacker on

Learning new math concepts can be tough sometimes, but when you can snack as you learn, like seventh-grade students in Miss Brittany Lee’s class did, learning becomes easier.

Miss Lee reported, “In honors Math 7 we learned how to combine like terms using Goldfish, pretzels, and Cheez-its. Students explored which crackers you can group together then students explored how to use the grouping method to simplify expressions.”

Lobo’s Basketball Off to a Sizzling Start

Submitted by david.thacker on

The boys’ basketball team is off to a hot start this season.  They now have 3 wins and 1 loss. 

The team has been able to get good all-around play from all 12 players.  The hustle and fight in this team is incredible. 

A great home crowd is always nice to have, and SF Jr. has the best in the region.  The team has been able to defeat Payson, Pleasant Grove and Provo at home.  The lone loss of the season came on the road against a very talented American Fork team.
