At Spanish Fork Junior High School, we believe in the power of choosing to see the good in others. This simple yet profound choice is at the heart of what strengthens our pack. When we focus on the positive qualities of those around us—students, teachers, and staff alike—we create a community where everyone feels valued and supported. By recognizing and celebrating the good in each other, we foster a culture of kindness, understanding, and mutual respect. At SFJHS, we are committed to building each other up and ensuring that our pack is stronger together.

Have you ever wanted to be a part of something great? Do you love to sing, dance or act? Do you enjoy being the center of attention? Do you want to make friends and have something to do after school? Well, here’s your chance to do it all: On the 29th and 30th of this month, we’ll be having auditions for the Spanish Fork Jr. Competition Team.

Every student in this school has the opportunity to audition for this team. We need actors, singers and dancers. You don’t need to be a pro in any area to be cast.

Auditions will be in the little theatre for the musical and dance ensemble. The auditions will be on Thursday, August 29 after school. Come pick up the paperwork in Miss Holley’s room, #37. You also need to sign up. If you’re not much of a performer, we have openings on our tech team. Pick up an information page and permission form in Miss Holley’s room.

Come join the fun at auditions for our competition team. If you have any questions, check out the flyers on the bulletin boards or ask Miss Holley.

Just a few attendance reminders:

If you’re leaving school, your parent or guardian will need to check you out at the front office.

If your smiling face never makes it school, please remember to have a parent or guardian call and excuse your absence within two days.

Missing or being tardy to class can prevent you from participating in school activities like school dances, end of term rewards, and Lagoon at the end of the school year.
