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.

Vintage fashions, old school sneakers, thick rimmed glasses.  If you were on the SFJH campus today, that’s what you would have seen.

And moustaches.

It was “Hipster Day;” a chance to be uber cool and ultra hip.  Hipsters are independent thinkers.  They prize creativity, intelligence, art, and witty conversation.  But even if “hipsterism” isn’t your thing, it sure is fun to dress hip for a day.

            It may have been a minimum day on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, but was maximum WILD when it came to hair.

            Students at SFJH came out en mass with hair that was teased, jelled, combed, curled, sprayed, braided, wrapped, rubber-banded, and otherwise decorated into some of the wildest styles ever seen.

            One big question remains—how do you wash out all that gel?

It’s been said by some that the Lord made the earth, but the pieces are held together by duct tape. 

What do you get when you give McGyver some bamboo and a few rolls of duct tape?  An airplane of course. 

This tenaciously sticky, miraculously versatile tape has been in the handyman’s tool boxes for decades, but only recently has its use been exalted to an art form.

Spanish Fork Jr. Highs cross country team recently participated at our first region meet at Mount Nebo Jr High.  The boy's took 3rd out of seven schools and the girls took 5th.

We’ve Got Spirit!  How About You?

            Students at Spanish Fork Junior High are celebrating Spirit Week September 16th through the 20th.

            On Friday September 13, the SFJH Lobo Leadership got the student body chanting, clapping, and stomping during the Spirit Assembly.  Students competed to see which section had the most spirit, the week’s activities were introduced, and the faculty competed in Minute to Win It games.

Spirit Week

Monday was 80s Day

            Big hair, pegged jeans, and flipped collars were in style on Monday September 16th—the first day of SFJH Spirit Week.  Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth grade students all got into the spirit and dressed the part.
