At what constant rate in miles per hour must Nicole run to catch Maria at 8:42 a.m.? Express your answer as a decimal to the nearest tenth. (Hint:  Distance = Rate ∙ Time)

SFJH just received some more exciting news!  Our Advanced orchestra was selected to perform in the State Jr. High Orchestra Festival in Salt Lake City on March 16. 

Groups performing at this event were selected through an audition process and it is a great honor to be chosen for the festival.  Festival Orchestras will receive performance comments from the judges, a clinic with one of the judges, and a plaque. 

It's going to be a lot of work to get ready for this festival.  Time to get practicing!

On January 29th, we thanked our awesome 9th grade honors math students that help tutor during pack time every week with a yummy lunch. 

Judging from the pictures, students feasted on KFC.  Now that’s what you call a “finger lickin’ good” thank you!

As an FFA member we have an amazing opportunity to compete in events like the creed, parliamentary procedure, prepared speaking and extemporaneous speaking. 

Parents, Students and Friends –

 Orchestra Needs Your Votes

Three watermelons and two cantaloupes weigh 32 pounds. Four watermelons and three cantaloupes weigh 44 pounds. All watermelons weigh the same and all cantaloupes weigh the same. What is the weight of one watermelon?

If you take a peek inside Ms. Harmer’s 7th grade Utah studies class, you might see something unusual.  Students use graham crackers to help them learn.

Ms. Harmer gives students grahams to help them learn about the three geographic regions in Utah.  Check out the students’ work.  Crackers are shaped into the state of Utah then decorated to represent the regions.

What a yummy way to learn.

It's time!  According to Jane Balek of the Give A Note Foundation, the  video contest voting pages are finally ready to go.
