The seventh grade College and Career Awareness classes participated in a career fair on October 18th and 19th.  Parents and family of seventh grade students volunteered to come to the College and Career Awareness classes to teach students all about their jobs. 

Here’s a list of some of the awesome jobs we learned about:  Juvenile Court Victim Coordinator, Building Inspector, Sr. Software Engineer, Internet Marketing, Meteorologist, Assistant Athletic Director for BYU, Registered Nurse, Cosmetologist, Dietician, Seamstress, and Financial Planner.

Mrs. Shea Harmer and Ms. Lois Terry’s 7th and 8th grade Social Studies students recently had the opportunity to learn about the contributions made by Native Americans to the United States and our lifestyle.

During a presentation by Eileen Quintana and Brenda Beyal of the Nebo School District Indian Education program, students learned about the history of Native Americans and their impact on history.  They were also able to examine artifacts Quintana and Beyal brought with them.

The Spanish Fork Jr. High Student Council was hard at work this last Saturday as they came out to paint the school logo on a storage container by the school. It was hard work, but everyone pitched in with helping hands and the logo was done in no time with excellent results! The students had lots of fun performing the service and want to thank the administration, Mr. Christensen, Mr. Whitney, and Mr. Barber, and our awesome custodian, Mr. Hansen, for the opportunity and help in spreading Lobo Pride. GO LOBOS!!!

Students had a great time and were competitive in their contests.  One of our livestock teams was 3rd place over all! That team was: Gage Fevold, Easton Redd, Josie Sorensen and Brayden Banks. Students are looking forward to more judging contests throughout the year.

Congrats to Ms. Parker on her latest publication. This one is a piece of speculative fiction which explores the world of cryogenics. Writing—it’s where it’s at. What’s your story?

The varsity Lady Lobs tennis team took districts this year beating Mapleton Jr. by one point in the team score 33-32!

This season, the SFJH girls’ tennis team enjoyed the biggest group of returning players in many years.  And the team saw the benefits of having mature players as the season progressed.
