Springville Junior High School’s Student-Led Conferences will be held tonight from 3:30-8:30 pm. The purpose of the Student-Led Conference is two-fold. First, students will be actively involved in reflecting on their progress and accomplishments. Second, the Student-Led Conferences provide an opportunity for students to improve communication skills and discuss their understanding of their own learning process.
Mr. Booth’s ninth grade band class competed in a district festival on April 16, 2010, at Spanish Fork High School. The ninth grade band has been preparing for this festival since before Christmas and has worked hard to get to where they are today.
The band played three pieces of music: Appalachian Morning, Lost Mountain, and All Glory Told. These pieces of music were challenging, and difficult for the band to learn. They worked hard, and dedicated their band class to becoming better.
The ninth grade band will also be performing in a district festival at U.V.U on May fifth, where they will be performing the same songs.

Springville Junior High has a tradition that once every year, thirty students, ten from each grade, are selected to be students of the year. On April 2, 2010, these students went on a special field trip to Trafalga Family Fun Center for being voted citizens of the year at Springville Junior High. These students were nominated by teachers and staff for being outstanding citizens.
All year, eight SJHS students have been working hard to bring you a book that you will keep for the rest of your life. Now all that’s left is for YOU to buy one!
Yearbook Week is April 19-23. This is the time for SJHS students to buy their 2009-2010 yearbook. During this week, students who have bought a yearbook are put into a drawing for prizes, and a prize will be given away every day. The last prize that will be given away will be an iPod shuffle, and you could be the winner!
In Mrs. Bass’s ninth grade English classes, they have been reading “Mississippi Trial 1955,” by Chris Crowe. As part of their learning experience, Mrs. Bass’s classes invited Dr. Crowe, an English Education professor from BYU, to come and speak to them about his book and the history behind it.
The book is about the famous Mississippi Trial and a boy who lived during that time. Dr. Crowe spoke about the cause of the trial, the results, and how different society was back then from how it is today.
