If you've ever had Mr. Jensen for science then you've had an amazing science teachers. He said that he has been teaching for 10 years; he taught for 3 years at Sandy Eastmont Middle school, 6 years at Payson Jr high and this is his second year at this school.
Have you ever wondered why people go by a different name than what’s on their birth certificate? We asked SJHS students about their nickname. This lets other students in the school let them know what they are called, and what they like best. These students are all in 8th and 9th grade.
The first student is named Matthew McKade Child, a 9th grades, but goes by the name Kade. People call him this because “it is shorter for McKade”. Kade likes to be called this. The real reason why he is called this is because of his “beautiful mother”.
We asked students from SJHS questions which book character that they would like to meet. Three 8th grade students were questioned about book characters.
Which book character would you like to meet? Eliza Whiting said that she would like to meet Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. Josie Rey said that she would like to meet Hermione from Harry Potter. Hekela Mavae said that she wants to meet Daniel from The Fallen series.

Its Halloween time at SJHS and people are starting to figure out what they are going to dress up as. The Halloween Spirit starts the month of October. We asked a few of SJHS students about what they are going to be for Halloween and a lot of them had some interesting responses. Most people dress up to have fun and get candy. Oh, and you can't forget to scare people when you dress up!
Did you hear about the mummies in Mr. McKell’s class? That’s right, on Thursday October sixth, Mr. McKell’s geography classes learned about Egypt and the mummification process while doing a hands on activity to learn about it. During this activity, the students practiced drying things out by drying and preserving apples. They also practiced their mummy wrapping skills by wrapping one another up in toilet paper. Mr. McKell says, “I did the mummification process activity, because first off, I think it is always good to try to make learning fun. I thought it would make students more engaged and interested in learning about mummification and Egypt in general.”
Find out what’s cooking up in the kitchen today! Here at Springville Junior High we have an incredible staff in our cafetorium. The ladies put in a lot of hard work just for us to eat. Getting the lunch room ready, the food cooked and serving the food doesn’t just take an hour or two; it takes all day and when they’re done they already have to start on tomorrow’s lunch and breakfast.
Most students in 9th grade at Springville Junior High take advantage of a special opportunity to participate in a different type of elective during release time. These students take a seminary class for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Some students have seminary early in the morning before school, and some have it during the day for one of their class periods. There are two teachers: Brother Jepsen and Brother Hurst.
