Hey guess what?!  Track and Field has started! You don’t know what Track is?  Keep reading and you will find out!

Track and Field is an activity all runners here at Springville Junior High can do.  Practices are held everyday after school starting March 21st!  After a certain amount of practices, there is a track meet.  A track meet is where your school goes and competes against other schools.  Kate Chatfield, one of the track runners from last year, said, “I love kicking other school’s butts at track meets!”

Mr. Booth Spotlight

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

Mr. Booth is the band teacher at SJHS, and the best one anyone could ask for. According to Mr. Booth, he has been working at SJHS for 20 years, and has done it because of his immovable love for music. His students love him, and would all agree that he does some legendary things in their presence.

Michael Quinlan, a student of Mr. Booth’s, said, “He’s good at teaching music. He takes it seriously and is good at what he does.” Michael plays the percussion in band class. Michael’s favorite thing about band class is when he chills with his friends, and when he gets to play his instruments.

Teacher Appreciation Week

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

All teachers deserve appreciation, and that is what Teacher Appreciation Week was all about. During Teacher Appreciation Week the PTA  organized games, dress up days and delicious food for the teachers. March 14-17 students and teachers dressed up differently everyday to show appreciation. Monday was dress up like your favorite Star Wars character. Tuesday was 80’s day. Wednesday was sock day, and Thursday was wear your favorite sweat pants day.

Mr. Hammon, an SJHS health teacher, said, “It’s probably the best week in the year.  My favorite part is definitely all the fun stuff and delicious food the PTA gives us.  My least favorite part is that it's only four days long.”
