Springville Junior High

Check out the amazing Valentine's Day-themed art in the halls at SJHS!

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 week our FCCLA team competed at the Region Competition. They did great!

Gracie Gonzales and Laicy Alfred received Bronze! Emiline Dahl, Lily Meeks, Hannah Allen, Hadley Mills, Eva Judd, and Emma Tijerina all received Silvers! Bentley Baggs received Gold!

Congratulations FCCLA!

Congratulations to all of this year's Battle of the Books teams for a great competition on Tuesday! Our top team, the Readers of Rohan, will advance to the district finals next week.

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!

The Nebo Title VI Program is hosting a Multicultural Fashion Show on March 26th from 6-8 pm at Spanish Fork High School.

If any of students would like to participate the deadline is February 27 and they can sign up here: https://bit.ly/4tzkRMP. 😊

This month we are focusing on Connection in our Quest lesson. Keep the conversation going at home! Ask your student what they talked about today.
