Dear SJHS families:

We hope you have had a fantastic spring break! It is hard to believe that we only have seven weeks of school left. It is going to be a busy last couple months of school! Starting on Wednesday of this week, our HOPE Squad will be hosting a Kindness Week. There will be a variety of Random Acts of Kindness challenges for students to participate in. We are excited to see what our HOPE Squad has planned! Here are the week’s other events:

Here's a little recap of our Battle of the Book competition. Congrats to our winning team Book Nerds!! 

Mining for resources in 8th-grade Science.

Some groups didn’t think their mine was fair because they didn’t have resources worth a lot of money.

We hope you’ve had a good week! We’re excited to let you know that our PTA will be hosting Teacher Appreciation Week next week to recognize the hard work of our teachers and staff. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with a note or email to let your teachers know that they have made a difference. All faculty and staff email addresses can be found on our school website. 

Upcoming events:

Here are the winners for March 11th. Thank you for being an Ally! 

Blake Elzinga is always willing to go the extra mile in class!

Adriana Chavez is always kind to her classmates, gives them compliments, and makes them feel welcome.

Oscar Ortiz-Martinez is always on task and an example to others.

Dallin Nunn has been a good friend to his classmates and has had many positive interactions with others.

Talin Gosman is such a kind and considerate friend. He builds up others’ self-esteem by paying them a compliment or offering encouraging words. He is awesome!

Check out the pictures from Mayor Matt Packard's visit to our Latinos In Action class! 

All the 9th grade World History classes had an opportunity to play a board game in class meant to show circumstances European explorers faced while exploring around the world. A great addition to our Exploration Unit!

I am so pleased that Mrs. Bishop approached me about having her Latinos in Action (LIA) class work with my ESL class. We are so happy to have the extra help with reading fluency and comprehension. Peer reading tutors can be so influential; I'm excited to see how this progresses through the rest of the school year.
