A Day, B Day, All Day

Submitted by tara.pina on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 14:57

For those SJHS students going to the high school next year, you may be getting some practice in their class schedule. Starting in may SJHS will be going into an A day B day schedule for the end of year sage testing. This will make classes go to lengths about an hour and a half. They do this so students will have more time to do sage testing without being interrupted. Charles Brenchley a SJHS student said “I don't think we need it.” While Oliver Smith, another SJHS student said “I personally like that we are going to have a schedule that will let sage testing be easier.

Behind the scenes of Journalism

Submitted by tara.pina on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 14:49

Journalism is a classed offered to all 8th and 9th grade students at SJHS. Students pick a topic at the beginning of each week and brainstorm ideas and questions for their interviews. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are used for interviewing students and teachers on the student's topic. Thursdays students type up their rough drafts and sometimes start their peer reviews. Fridays they finish up the peer reviews and turn in their articles.

“Journalism gives me a chance to get to know the students around our school, and get opinions from different points of views. Also I love to write and journalism gives me a chance to write every week.” Says Jenny Walentine

High School Simulator 2017

Submitted by tara.pina on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 14:48

The idea for a A day B day schedule was just announced in a recent assembly, similar to that of the High school schedule. The whole summary of it is one day you have a certain type of class, Math, Science, English, etc. while the other day will have Art, PE, and so on. Typically in High school this would be happening if you had about 14 classes like how most high schoolers do. But as we only have the standard 7 classes while still fitting Quest Time and Lunch in there, makes our classes an hour and a half long. Alike to how you would have English in the seventh grade. To most, this could come off as a bother and a trouble to your schedule. Ryan Witney says otherwise.

No Tardy Party.

Submitted by tara.pina on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 12:32

On Wednesday the 26, students who did not have any tardies during term 3 got to go to the Stadium theatres in Payson. They could see Smurfs the Lost Village, or Boss Baby. Jane Wilson, an 8th grader at SJHS, said that she went to the No Tardy Party because you get to miss school, and she is seeing Boss Baby “Because boss baby is better that Smurfs.”

Jackson Kiser said that he went to the No Tardy Party because he didn't go last time and he wanted a break from school.

Local Student Does Something Shocking

Submitted by tara.pina on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 12:27

In breaking news, a local student has sneezed. This was met with shocked reports from other students, as they had never heard anything so disastrous. While authorities do not wish for the identity of the student to be known, we can confirm that the sneeze happened sometime between three o'clock, and four o'clock  on Wednesday the 26th. As most sneezes move at one hundred miles per hour, which is almost two times as fast as a hurricane, it's understandable that some students are shocked.
