December 2018

Freshmen in Mrs. Nielsen’s English class are excited for Winter Break.  Here is a sampling of what they’re looking forward to most.

Ally Jones  says “Sleeping in and family time!”

Tremaine Lomax want to “Playing video games until I’m sick.”  Hummmm.  Really Tremaine?  Until you’re sick?

Malachi Teodosio  is excite because, “I’m getting a Nintendo Switch!”

Trevor Stephens has just one thing on his mind—“Sleeping!”

Pack Time has become part of our culture over the last few years. Teachers are able to help students with assignments and tests while those with Cs, Bs, and As can go to various enrichment activities such as the gym, library, Girls Who Code, chess, and even ping pong and video games in the Lobo Den to name a few. This allows teachers to send quality time with students who need help. 

It has been a busy month for SFJHS Fine Arts Department! Keeping up with the these teachers and students is a full time job around here! We have seen the wonderful musical, She Loves Me, from Miss Holley and her acting and technical crews, and concerts by Mr. Kavenaugh's choirs. Mrs. Olsen's and Mrs. Harman's orchestras and Miss Johnson's bands have graced us with beautiful melodies! All have been great performances by many talented and dedicated students. 

Spanish Fork Junior High School recently had a band concert this last Wednesday, December 19th. The concert took place in the Spanish Fork High School auditorium. The one hour band concert was directed by Ms. Bridgett Johnson. If you were not feeling the holiday spirit before the concert you sure were after! The music was full of holiday cheer. It was cold outside but, when you heard the music, you were warmed up by the festive music. You could tell that our school’s band worked very hard on these amazing songs.

Parents, Students, and Friends -

PENNY WARS

This year’s fundraiser was very successful and our students really stepped up.  Wow, our students raised over $2,200. Thank you for supporting this project and encouraging students to participate.  We will present Nebo Credit Union Warm The Soles Program with the money on Friday. Warm The Soles donates thousands of pairs of shoes to Nebo students in need every year.  Thanks to the organizers of this event, the teachers, and especially our generous students!

Spanish Fork Junior High is known for having a superb Drama department.  Every year in the spring, the community is treated to wonderful musicals where student talent shines.

Mrs. Harmer’s 9th grade world civilizations classes built a trench, were issued rations, and wrote letters home as if they were soldiers during World War 1 after learning about trench warfare.

They also learned about harsh conditions, diseases, and other hardships of trench life.
