Boys’ Basketball Defeats Springville in An Excellent Game

Submitted by david.thacker on

After a decent start to the season, our 9th grade boys’ basketball took on the Springville Junior High Knights.  This game would prove to be a very good one.  The Lobos were able to pull out of this game with an impressive win.

The Knights came out shooting.   They would go on a 9-0 scoring run to start off the game, and they would keep the lead until just before halftime.  Our boys would fight back to go up one point at halftime.  This comeback was defiantly a team effort, demonstrating how the Lobos have started to develop as a team.

Early Morning Jazz Band

Submitted by david.thacker on

Every morning around seven o’clock, Jazz Band students come to school.  Hand-picked by SFJHS band teacher Mr. Wendell picks, students learn then perform Jazz music.  Currently, they are working on songs entitled Doxy, Martinique, All Blues, and Plunger Power.

The Lobo Howl asked Mr. Wendell what the students have to do in order to get into Jazz Band.  “Students need to be well disciplined, be good musicians, they need to have a love for music, and they need to be brave in order to do solos,” he explained.

Education: Why It’s Important

Submitted by david.thacker on

School can be very stressful with all of the assignments in class, grades, homework you do, and the drama that unfolds when your GPA is too low for your parents to accept. These problems are just a few of the factors that cause people to despise education.  As a result, some choose to stop caring about school while others decide to learn anything at all. 

Have you ever thought in depth about just how important our education is in our lives, to the survival to of our nation, or even to the survival of the world?
