Applause thundered through the halls of SFJH today during the annual talent show-- better known as the Stars Assembly. Singing, dancing, magic, and yes, even origami were featured.

Congratulations to Mr. Syme! He is our teacher of the month.
Mr. Bartholmew said this about him:
On March 12, 90 U.S. History Students attended a Naturalization Ceremony in Salt Lake City. The students received a better understanding of how fortunate they are to live in America and what a great country America is. Our students witnessed what was the best day of 457 new citizens lives. Better yet, two of our students, Hailey Hullinger and Bennett Brinton, were privileged to speak about the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the beauty of America.
The Spanish Fork Junior High 9th grade orchestra attended the district wide orchestra assessment on March 11, 2014. Our orchestra played extremely well, receiving a "1" superior rating with perfect marks in all categories, including tone, intonation, rhythm, expression, and articulation. The judge Denise Willey praised the performance and worked with the group for a few minutes in perfecting a couple of crescendo markings. Well done!
We all agree that drugs, alcohol, and tobacco harm the brain and are addictive. Today, students at SFJH learned we should add one more substance to this list—pornography!
Fight the New Drug is an organization whose mission, according to its website, is “to provide individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding pornography by raising awareness on its harmful effects using science, facts, and personal accounts.”
1st Place Winner: Jaxon Judd, 7th grade
“Ninjas of Love”
The night is black.
Ninjas are, too.
If you were a samurai,
I would fight you—
Quick like a cat,
And silent like a dove,
Swinging a sword of passion
And the ninja stars of love.
2nd Place Winner: Jensen Lewis, 7th Grade
My love for you is like ice cream and mustard:
No matter what you do, it just doesn’t work.
When I look into your eyes
