Students play very carefully for new orchestra director. His (her?) standards are quite high and the penalty for failure is--well, let's just say they don't want to be caught dead play the wrong note.
On Thursday, January 26, members of the SFJH Honors Orchestra found out they were selected to perform during the Utah State Junior High Orchestra Festival! Here is Mrs. Harman’s report:
If you visit SFJH on any given day, and peek through the door of a classroom, you will see some very creative teaching going on. Case in point—Mrs. Harmer’s seventh grade Utah Studies class. If you visited her room this week, you’d see students constructing models of the state out of graham crackers and using candy to show the features of Utah’s three distinct regions.
SFJH is excited to announce that a number of our students will be participating in the Nebo District Honor Orchestra tomorrow. These students are:
Miracleen Siilata, Mallory Bingham, Cameron Monroe, Sterling McDonald, Emily Wessman, Sierra Rightsell, Khaila Cordon, Christina Mullins, Wayne Blaylock, Maegan Ellefson, Trevin Marler, Kyle Bailey, Katelyn Porter, Macady Pullham, Isabella Ramirez, Reuben McClure, Bryton Robb, Logan Smith, Cameron Jolly, Emma Burnham, and Connor Mulloy.

The central character, David, finds himself on an incredible journey through time where he visits various figures from history. Each character shares a vital Decision with David. The decisions taught so far are:
- The Buck Stops Here (Harry S. Truman)
- I Will Seek Wisdom (King Solomon)
