Parents, Students and Friends –

 One Last Reminder to Please Participate in Our School Effectiveness Survey

On Wednesday, February 8th, you were sent an email from Troy Bohling and the Nebo School District regarding the 2016-17 Stakeholder Survey. If you have already responded to the survey, we thank you. If you have not yet had the opportunity to do so, this is a reminder that the survey will be open until Sunday, February 26th. We value your insight and want to know about the great things that are happening here at the school. We also want to hear your ideas regarding how we can improve. We would love to have your input and encourage you to participate in this year's survey. Thank you for your help.

 Thanks PTA

SFJHS has some amazing volunteers!  We want to thank the PTA and the wonderful parents that helped to feed our teachers and staff on a long day of Parent/Teacher conferences on Thursday Feb 16th.  Thanks to the PTA, our teachers and staff enjoyed a delicious, meal including a yummy desert. We also want to extend a big thanks to those volunteers that helped with the PTA book fair. It was very successful and all the money raised goes directly to our school. Thanks again PTA!
