February 2015

Students were able to participate in an assembly today where they were educated on addictions and the harmful effects of pornography.

The SaJHS Boys Basketball team won the district championship for the third year in a row. 

Creative Writing students were given an unusual task on Friday, February 13th. They were asked to write an Anti-Valentines Day poem. Some students felt this was a great opportunity to make fun of the lovey-dovey holiday, but one student was strongly against speaking out against her favorite holiday. Either way, it was a fun assignment. You can read the class's poems on the wall outside room 117. 

Congratulations to the January Students of the Month!
