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 in FFA competed at Snow College this last week in livestock evaluation, veterinary science, dairy cattle evaluation and horse evaluation.

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.

Seventh-grade students state wide study Utah history for social studies.  Sevies at Spanish Fork Junior High are especially lucky to have two great teachers, Lois Terry and Shea Harmer, who go the extra mile to make learning fun and authentic.

Ms. Lois Terry’s 9th grade Geography class has been studying the effect of plate tectonics on the geography of the world.  As an assessment to see if her students learned the concepts that they studied about during their internal and external forces unit, students have been creating Forces Videos.
