Boys Basketball: SaJHS vs DFJHS
Earlier this year, our principal, Mrs. Kimball won a state award. She was nominated by the administrators for the title of Middle-Level Principal of the Year! (“Middle-Level” meaning the Jr. High level.) She was rewarded with a Snoopy trophy and a trip to Washington D.C. with her husband. All of the award winning principals from every state were there, too.While she was in D.C., she and her husband met with Utah’s senators, Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee to discuss education in Utah.
Through a tremendous amount of effort and determination, the Spartan ninth grade girls’ basketball team, won an amazing game! Full of tension and contained excitement, the game was one worthy of an encore. At every toss of the ball you could feel your hopes fly with it, and your heart beat excitedly. You could feel your teeth clench with worry and disappointment at the increase of points on the Guest’s board. A legitimate feeling of joy ran through your mind at every good play, and it was easy to join in the cheering and applause.

We had a very successful Quarters for Christmas. Students and staff donated over $2,000 for families for Christmas. Stokes will participate with a discount on gift cards. (Thank you, Stokes!!) We should be able to help 10 families in our area.
As an incentive, the classes competed for the chance to throw a pie in the face of the winning teacher. This event took place at lunch on Dec 19 and was great lunchtime entertainment!
The SaJHS Cross Country team had a great first season! When it ended in Oct, we took 5th place overall in the boys and 6th in the girls. Brodey Hasty took 6th and Chayden Zeeman took 2nd overall. They did great and had a fun time competing!
