Dear SJHS parents and guardians:

Rather than doing an in-person parent-teacher conference like I emailed about last week, we will be holding our parent-teacher conferences via Zoom on Thursday, December 3. I will send out a list of SignUp Genius links next week for you to make appointments with your child’s teachers. Appointment times will be available between 3:30pm and 7:00pm on December 3. You are also welcome to contact your child’s teachers via email. You can find email addresses for each SJHS teacher at http://sjhs.nebo.edu/faculty.

Junior high athletics will start up again next week:

Estimados padres y tutores de SJHS:

En lugar de hacer una conferencia entre padres y maestros en persona como la que envié por correo electrónico la semana pasada, en realidad haremos conferencias entre padres y maestros a través de Zoom el jueves 3 de diciembre. Le enviaré una lista de enlaces de SignUp Genius la próxima semana para que programe citas con los maestros de su hijo. Los horarios de las citas estarán disponibles entre las 3:30 pm y las 7:00 pm el 3 de diciembre. También puede comunicarse con los maestros de su hijo por correo electrónico. Puede encontrar las direcciones de correo electrónico de cada maestro de SJHS en http://sjhs.nebo.edu/faculty.

Angelina Allmendinger is one of the many great ninth-graders here at Springville Junior high. Some of Angelina’s favorite things to do are play the piano and read. “I’ve always wanted to learn how to play music by ear. To just hear a song and be able to play the basic melody and chords on the piano.” Angelina’s favorite thing about school is hanging out and talking with her friends. “My favorite class is orchestra because I like playing music on the cello, and Mr. Taylor is one of my favorite teachers.” Her favorite place that she has ever gone to is Washington D.C because there were a lot of cool things to see. The advice she has for 7th and 8th graders is “Try new things.

Rachel Mason is a 9th grader at Springville Jr. She is someone who always has a smile on her face and a gleam in her eye. When she's not with friends she’s doing some of her favorite activities. Such as tennis, basketball, and dance. She likes these sports because they are active and they are fun to do with friends.

But in school, science is her favorite class “Because it teaches you a lot about life, and I like that.” Rachel works very hard but her family and friends are there to support her every step of the way. If you see her she will always have a smile on her face.

Ethan Johnston is one of the 8th graders here at SJHS, he cares a lot and potentially will do anything for his family. His wish is to have a billion dollars but not for the reason most teenage guys might want a billion dollars. “My wish is probably to have a billion dollars because I would like to help my family with a house and bills.” His favorite subject is cooking because it’s chill and fun to be in and the teachers are nice. Another reason is that he used to cook with his mom a lot. He doesn’t do any sports but like most teens, he just likes to hang out and chill with his friends when school isn’t in session.

Ava Nielson is an eighth-grader at our school and plays tennis. She was on our school’s tennis team and has been playing for three years. She played as a single, but then played with a partner for the last part of the season. Besides tennis, she likes to paint watercolor and watch tik toks on her phone. School is sometimes hard for her, especially math, but she likes foods because she likes to cook and bake. Ten years from now, Ava wants to run her own flower shop on Main Street. Ava would want to learn the guitar. She really looks up to Harry Styles and loves his song “Sign of the Times”.  “It costs nothing to be nice,” says Harry Styles, and Ava lives by this. She loves tennis, baking, painting and she is really fun.

Sammy DeLlamas is one of the most fantastic seventh graders here at Springville Jr. High. Sammy likes the many different classes and options here at Springville Jr and she loves to read. She looks forward to high school because “I am very excited to make new friends.”  When asked about her future, she wants to play college volleyball and as of right now she plans to be playing club volleyball and she looks forward to playing on the highschool Lady Red Devils team. Sammy is a very bright person and if you get the chance you should get to know her.

Amayrani is very open in what she says. She always tells the truth. Amayrani likes to be called “Roni” because she says that some people always mess her name up. I asked her what was her favorite thing about our schools and she said “the food, specifically the hot and spicy chicken sandwich” and she also likes the lunch ladies because they are really nice according to Roni. “The fries are so good and the frozen strawberries.” She always thinks about food by the way.
