Do you know what Skijoring is?  Maybe you’re like most of us here at SFJH—clueless!  But we’re in luck because one of our teachers is a Skijoring enthusiast—Ms. Megan Lynn.

Skijoring is a Norwegian word meaning “ski driving.”  Believe it or not, it’s a competitive sport!  All you need to participate is a pair of skis, a towrope of some sort, and a vehicle; be it horse, dog, or motorized.  For hundreds of years, the Sami people of northern Scandinavia used reindeer.

On Thursday February 27th, the choir students of Spanish Fork Junior High performed in their third choir concert of the year, “The Arrow and the Song”.
