On November 29th Diamond Fork Junior High’s Honors U.S. History class traveled to the Leonardo Davinci museum in Salt Lake City.  They had a great time and enjoyed the experience.

The girl’s ninth grade basketball team at Diamond Fork recently held basketball tryouts and selected 12 team members.  The decision was very difficult.  For the last three years the Diamond Fork girl's basketball team has won the district championship.  Unfortunately, injuries constantly threaten the team’s potential.  Of course there are ways to prevent such injuries, but such precautions are not always practiced - just like children riding bikes who do not wear helmets or knee pads.

Every year students at Diamond Fork Junior High School audition for the school musical. This year's school musical is “The Little Mermaid.”  Last year’s musical “Beauty and the Beast” was amazing, with excellent actors and props. It was a huge success with gigantic crowds attending every night. The musical was very similar to the movie, with all of the excitement and more - including some very funny moments.

Journalism students at Diamond Fork Junior High recently visited the studios of KSL TV, and the radio stations FM 100 and Arrow 103.5.  Students were able to talk with reporters and ask them questions about a career in journalism.  Students were even invited into the broadcasting booth of FM100, and were present as the DJ broadcast live on the air.  After investigating the working environments of professional journalists, students were also able to watch live filming of the KSL News At Noon program.

The PTA of Diamond Fork Junior High is holding a book fair on the stage of the cafetorium beginning Monday, December 3rd through Friday, December 7th.  This book fair will feature all the products of Scholastic Corporation - including many new and popular young adult novels.  This is a great opportunity for students and parents to shop for Christmas gifts.  All proceeds from the fair go to benefit the students at our school.  Thank you PTA!
