 The month of March has been very busy for the Spanish Fork Lobo Concert and Jazz Bands.  Concert Band had a festival on March 10th at the Spanish Fork High School and the Jazz Band on March 26th at Maple Mountain.  Jazz and Concert Bands both received a Superior (1-) rating.

Next Tuesday, April 28th from 5-9 p.m., will be Spanish Fork Junior High Night at Zupas! That's right, on Tuesday only, Zupas will donate 20% of your entire order to Spanish Fork Junior High.  This is a great excuse to try out one of Spanish Fork's newest restaurants and help our school at the same time. Look for posters, flyers, and individual tickets for more information. And thank you in advance for helping out our school!

Attention, all ninth graders.  Elections for your next year SBOs are going on now!

Answer:  The Gallon or the Gallows Problem

“Mr. Huff is a remarkable teacher. Throughout his career he has taught band, math, Chinese, social studies, summer school and served as Dean of Students. No matter the assignment, Dave has proved successful. Teachers and students enjoy working with someone that is so knowledgeable, and one that is so willing to share and help others become better.”

There is an excellent video clip on YouTube that showcases many of our orchestra students.

The clip is called "Ranaan Meyer's The World We All Deserve Through Music Project in Utah. " If you have a chance, it is well worth watching it.

The Gallon or the Gallows Problem 

"Let's see.  We need 3 toad eyes, 27 hairs from an elephant, 1 ounce of dragon blood, a pinch of paprika, 1 tiger tooth, 13 four-leaf clovers, and exactly 1 gallon of water.  Hurry, please, or you will regret it!"

Hope shines brightly at Spanish Fork Junior High, and it’s the color yellow!

Have you ever laughed like a burrito, or a dandelion?  How about an ostrich?  Tommy Wells, presenter at Tuesday’s Hope Week kick-off assembly, asked students to do just.  Happiness brings power into our lives, Wells told students, the power to overcome obstacles and the power to achieve our goals.

He also warned students to expect to fail.  Learning means failing and trying again—sometimes again and again and again.  Babe Ruth, one of the best homerun hitters of all time, struck out 1,330 times.  Achievement comes only after failure.
