Last night Mr. Booth was awarded the PEAK Award at the school board meeting. The PEAK Award is an award to recognize those who exemplify "Positive Energy and Kindness" in our schools. Mr. Booth was nominated for this well-deserved recognition by several of his current band students. Mr. Booth's love of music is contagious. He has fostered that musical appreciation and talent development in our students for over 30 years and we are so grateful for all he has contributed to Springville Jr. High School. Our students are so lucky to learn from Mr. Booth!

This year in the library we are exploring books based on the emotions they evoke when we read them. Students can complete each month's challenge for a chance to spin the wheel for prizes in the library. Those who complete all 8 challenges will receive a special prize at the end of the school year. Read along with us at home! This month our challenge is to read a book that makes you feel curious!
