Hey all you writers out there! Want to publish a novel someday? How about next month? November is National Novel Writing Month, and Mr. Anson’s 9th grade Honors English class will be participating in this grueling challenge. If you are interested in undertaking such an awesome endeavor as well, check out the Young Writers Program at www.ywp.nanowrimo.org for information and instructions on participation and registration.
The lobo leadership class is always looking for ways to improve themselves and the school around them. Recently they had a lesson about Habit 1 from The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey. They are learning the differences between "proactive" and "reactive." They discovered that while reactive traits make cool soda rockets, proactive traits are much more pleasant to have when it comes to interacting with people.
There is a reward being offered for information about a tagging incident that took place earlier this week on the west side of town. The police are asking for information from students at SFJHS since it is within the school boundaries and there is a possibility the taggers are in our school.
Nebo School District is holding a coloring contest in conjunction with NSLW (National School Lunch Week) October 14-18 this year.
It is more of a drawing contest than a coloring contest. It is simply an 8x11 piece of paper titled "My Favorite Place in the USA." The NSLW theme this year is "Across the USA."
There will be prizes given out . Make sure students put there name, grade and school on the back of their entry.
1. Each entry is DUE to the Kitchen by Monday morning, October 14th
Friday, the final day of Spirit Week, was set aside as Sports Spirit Day. Students dressed either in their favorite team’s jersey or in the gear for their favorite sport.
As you can imagine, because it was rivalry week between BYU and the U of U, many students were dressed in either blue or red. Pro football, baseball, and basketball jerseys added to the mix.
Spirit week ended with a Fun Run. Runners form all grades as well as faculty members tied on their running shoes and ran a mini cross country event of 1.8 miles.
The top finishers—all with a time of 10:39—were Heston Andersen, Devin King, and Nate Hanson. Mrs. Vanessa Heber, one of our English teachers, was just a few strides off the lightning pace set by these three young men, and was the first faculty finisher. All those who finished were given bananas and water—just the thing a runner craves.
Below are the top runners in each grade level by gender.
