Parents, Students and Friends –

Parent Teacher Conferences TOMORROW

The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. Anyone anywhere can organize an Hour of Code event. One-hour tutorials are available in over 40 languages. No experience needed. Ages 4 to 104.

All this week, 191,000 organizers are leading schools and events worldwide. Students are given the opportunity to learn to code with Minecraft, Star Wars, or another fun, one-hour tutorials. There are 50 options for every age, experience-level, and device.

Our very own Ruby Campbell discovered today that a piece of her artwork won the Nebo School District’s Card contest.  It will be featured on this year’s Christmas Card, sent to faculty, board members, and others on the districts Christmas list.

The honor of being chosen might be exciting enough, but there was also a $75.00 cash prize attached!  Way to go Ruby!

Santa’s Penguin Puzzler

250 penguins marched in the annual Christmas Day penguin parade.  There was one penguin in the first row, two penguins in the second row and three penguins in the third row. This pattern continued through all of the rows.

• How many rows of penguins were there?
• Was the last row full?

In a final second squeaker, the SFJH boys’ basketball team beat the American Fork Cavemen in front of an enthusiastic Spanish Fork crowd.  At the buzzer the score was 42-41.

The Lobos battled with the Cavemen in front of a packed house.  Earlier in the afternoon, the Lady Lobos decisively beat the Cavewomen by almost 20 points.  But the boys had their work cut out for them.

Here’s what Coach Johnson reported

Last night, here on the home court, our Lady Lobos outshot the Cavewomen from American Fork Junior by almost 20 points.  Here are Coach Harmer’s thoughts on last night’s win.

“The Lady Lobos hosted the American Fork Cavewomen in their first home game of the season.”

“The Lady Lobos got off to a great start and held a solid lead the entire game. The girls were confident and kept their heads and soundly beat the Cavemen 41-26.”

Important stats from the December 1st game:

Tessa Clayton had 14 points (two 3 pointers)
