Hope Squad is ready to heal the hearts of students at Springville Junior High School. This year, the SJHS counselor who started Hope Squad was Mrs. Courtney Droz. She came up the idea of Hope Squad to help out troubled students at SJHS. The letters in hope stand for Hold On Persuade Empower, which is what Hope Squad is all about.
Here at Springville Junior High School we have many elective classes you can take. There are classes like Art, Spanish, Science Enrichment and Peer Tutor. All of those classes are so much fun to everyone! Did you know one of the most popular electives is the Sewing elective class? Kids have been saying to people that it is super exciting and you get to make all of your own projects to take home. Students should consider taking this exciting class.
Mrs.Sue Tarin has been at our school for 3 years; she is the registrar ( the counseling office secretary). “I register kids and get their paperwork done when they come and leave.” Mrs. Tarin said. Mrs. Tarin enjoys eating Swedish fish, hiking, being in nature, and running. She has run 5 full marathons and 21 half marathons! Mrs. Tarin likes chicken cordon bleu, baked potatoes, salad, homemade rolls, and tin roof sundae ice cream.
All of us at Springville Junior High School have individual interests. Some like music, art, singing, even exercise. There are electives for those listed, but there is a specific elective for those individuals who like to read. Reading for Enjoyment is the name of the elective. Ms. Tiffanie Miley teaches the Reading for Enjoyment class every 5th period. Reading for Enjoyment is a class for those who are avid readers. Every day there are book talks, reading, and writing of a short journal. Kids can share the books they are reading with those in the class, and their friends can do the same to them. The students also have the option to read whatever book they would like to.
