November 2019

In October our SFJHS ESL class learned words relating to autumn and wrote haikus to demonstrate their understanding. 

Students also brought pictures and shared stories of their deceased loved ones in honor of Dias de los Muertos last week. Many faculty members joined our celebration by placing a photo (or memento) on the altar in Mrs. Thompson's room to show their love for family members they have lost. 

As you can see, the display was a beautiful tribute to those now departed.

The counselors will begin meeting with 8th grade students for their College & Career Readiness conferences this week. We value parent participation in these meetings and hope you'll be able to come! The appointments will be available through the end of November.

You will be able to meet individually with a counselor to discuss graduation requirements, high school credit, college, career, and scholarship information.

 You will receive an email from your student’s counselor today with a link to sign up for an appointment time. 

Exam Problem

A section of an exam contains four True-False questions. A completed exam paper is selected at random, and the four answers are recorded. Assuming the outcomes to be equally likely, find the probability that at most one of the four answers is “True.”

BASKETBALL TEAMS TRYOUTS

Basketball tryouts are November 11 from 3pm-5pm  in the girls’ gym. You must have a current Physical Exam and a print out of your Term 1 grades to tryout!  Talk to Coach Street or Coach Carlson with questions. 

FALL CARNIVAL AND DANCE

FACS teacher Kayla Duckworth, Spanish Fork Junior High’s new FACS teacher, and her student were cooking up some spooky treats today in Foods class.  

A Mongolian nomad, and a Costco sample-giver, Dorothy and crew from the Land of Oz, and four versions of Taylor Swift were just a few of the Halloween characters teaching today at Spanish Fork Junior High. 

The faculty and staff love surprising students every year with their cool and very creative costumes. 

Zombie Haiku is a Halloween tradition at Spanish Fork Junior High.  This year, about three hundred students submitted entries.  After much deliberation, the winners have been chosen:  

7th Grade 

First place—Philip Ivie 

Second place—Aneen Abbott 

Third—Madalyn Welling 

8th Grade 

First place—Thomas Cox 

Congratulations to local business owners of Creative Signs, Natalie and Bryce Taylor, for all they have done and continue to do to support our students at SFJHS!
