Excited for this year’s P.E?  You defiantly should be!  The PE is a great way to get moving after sitting through all those other class.  Some might think P.E. isn’t important, but actually it’s one of the most important classes you’ll take!

For those of you that do not know, Spanish Fork High School holds an annual Powder Puff football tournament.  The Powder Puff tournament features the girls playing flag football and the boys providing the half time entrainment.  This year’s tournament was both entertaining and competitive.

The SFJH Lobo cross country team has competed in another amazing race and done well. On Friday the 28th of September, they competed against the Payson and Salem teams.  They ran around the Salem Jr. High, including the athletic fields, two times for the mile and one half course.  The girls ran first then the boys.  They were excited to run. 

The Drama Club went to the Renaissance Fair held earlier this month up in Provo Canyon at Timpanogos Park , to practice their Shakespeare routines in front of a crowd. They did a great job preforming.  This opportunity helped them get ready to go to Cedar City this month.

The Renaissance Fair showed club members what life was like during the middle age for the peasants and rulers.

Spanish Fork Jr. High was a multicolored mix of animal and plant cells when students from Mr. Hallam's Biology class drew “Cell Art” around the school.

Students got to choose what type of cells they would draw: animal or plant. There were many types of cells on the sidewalks, and lots people noticed them because of their large size and bright colors.  The cells had all the necessary organelles from the mitochondria to the chloroplasts.

Mr. Nelson has been talking about numbers for the past 26 years.   He came to this school to teach math, and has never wanted to leave.  This year he is only teaching 7th grade math but has taught 8th and 9th grade math too.   He really enjoys arithmetic!

Math isn't the only thing he is good at.  He also is quite knowledgeable when it comes to art and science. Before he taught math here at Spanish Fork Jr. High, he was an Art History teacher and a Science teacher.  He says that he enjoyed these other subjects, but was glad he got a chance to work with numbers here at SFJH.

Lying comes easily to some but harder to others. As human beings we are cursed.  We use lying in our everyday lives. Like food and water, some people survive on lying. For some, it has gotten them either further in life; for others it’s gotten them nowhere. Check your self; have you ever ignored the truth to tell a lie?

Mrs. Nielsen's seventh grade students compete every term for top honors in reading.  This term's reading champs are Pod 1 (periods 1 & 2).  As a class they read 38,222 pages beating the next closest class by over 8000 pages.

On Friday, October 19th, the Honors Math classes took a field trip to Kennecott Bingham Copper Mine.  It was fun and informative.  First of all, we found out some cool facts about the mine and the equipment from one of the guides.  Did you know that the mine is 3/4 of a mile deep and 2 3/4 miles wide?  One of the big dump trucks is as big as an average two-story house and carries between 250 to 320 tons of ore!!  It takes 1000 gallons of gas to fill the tank and the tires cost $32,000 EACH and are about 12 feet tall.  Wow!!!  Some of the students and Mr.
