Last week our Spanish and DLI students participated in the BYU Language Fair. Students compete in individual events to test their language abilities. Students also get an opportunity to participate in a simulation where they are completely immersed in the country of españolandia where only Spanish is understood.

This year, our language bowl team took 3rd place and did amazing for their first time. Our school took the sweepstakes award for the jr. high division. This means that we were awarded the highest point value in our category. We are so proud of our students' achievments!

Dear SJHS families:

Our end-of-level testing begins next week for our 9th graders. Testing security protocols from the state instruct that students should not be able to access their phones or smart watches during the testing period. For our end-of-level tests, teachers will ask students to put their phones and smart watches in their backpacks and then put all of their backpacks at the front of the classroom. When the class period is over, students will be able to retrieve their backpacks from the front of the room. If you could talk about this with your child, it would be much appreciated!

Alice Heppler was nominated for excellent work on her meteorology unit study guide and test. She obviously put a lot of time and effort into her studies. Thanks for being an example of a successful learner, Alice!

Congratulations to Mr. Jim Anderson—Springville Junior High’s teacher of the year!
