Do you know Mrs. Peterson? She has been teaching for 15 years.  She started out at SFHS teaching world civilizations and debate, then came here and is now teaching history and public speaking.

If you've been in Mrs. Larsen's room lately, maybe you’ve noticed the new bright red blenders. These blenders are called the “Total Blender” and were donated by Blendtec, a company in Orem that also makes grain mills.

The Total Blender is a professional, $500.00 machine that every Food Lab in Nebo School District received. Our school received eight of these blenders for free! Mrs. Larsen, the Foods teacher said, “This is a truly amazing blender!”

Recently, the Food Exploration classes saw something amazing. soup made from a stone! The day before, every period of cut up vegetables such as tomatoes, corn, and onions, while other classmates cooked meat and made noodles. After adding all of the ingredients together they set it aside for the next day.

For the past few weeks Mr. Dayton and his 6th and 7th period classes have been building, designing, and racing solar powered cars. The classes seemed to enjoy building their own cars and getting to race, especially those taking home wins!

Students used kits that contained small pocket sized solar panels, thin wooden blocks, plastic tires, motors, and small plastic gears to build their cars. Students cut, sanded, painted and assembled their own cars. After they were built, students tested their cars and made any final changes to their designs.

On September 27, 2011, two busses of excited 7th grade students left SFJHS for a field trip to Antelope Island State Park in the Great Salt Lake.  On the bus trip to Antelope Island, students pointed out important Utah landmarks like the Bingham Copper Mine.  Once at Antelope Island, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Bake took students on an amazing hike to the top of Buffalo Point where they enjoyed jumping around on huge boulders, exploring caves, holding a snake, looking at a big scary spider, and finding what looked like Native American rock art. Meanwhile, Mr. Jackson and Mr.

            Mrs. Drollette’s class went to a field day on September 29th at Mapleton Jr. High. We competed against classes from Jr. Highs across the district. Some highlights were the high jump, 100m race, archery, peer tutors, and dance.

            The high jump event was a blast. As Alexis Fisk reports, “it’s fun to land on the soft comfy mat.” Alexis won first place in this event for the girls, jumping over 4 feet. Her classmates were excited for her.
