Submitted by david.thacker on

HOPE Squads are the eyes and ears of our school.

They are comprised of students who will receive training on how to watch for at-risk students, provide friendship, identify warning signs, and seek help from adults.

They will also help plan our Hope Week activities in January and other activities throughout the year to encourage our students.

Reflection and Inspiration Through Writing

Submitted by david.thacker on

Mrs. Thompson's eighth grade English students participated in a quick write activity on 9/11 after viewing a commemorative video. These pieces represent just a few of the gems they shared from their writer's notebooks.

The first is the photo for this article, a mufti media poem by Alivia Vandyke.  The second is a reflective piece by Corbin Gull.

Here at Spanish Fork Junior High we try our best to respect everything. Today was no exception, today was an extraordinary example.

When the students started coming to school today, an amazing amount of them came in their Sunday best. When asked why he dressed up, Hansen Johns (7) said, “To honor the people that died.”

Faith Anderson (7) said, “ Day of remembrance!” when asked the same question.
