On Tuesday, October 9th seventh grade students at Diamond Fork Junor High enjoyed an activity they earned through their excellent academic achievement.  The school held a competition among the 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students during the first-half of term 1.  The grade level that had the lowest percentage of students with the academic grades of D or F, or citizenship grades of N (needs improvement) or U (unsatisfactory), would win an activity at Planet Play in Salt Lake.

Members of the student council at Diamond Fork Junior High recently visited 1st graders in Ms. Moosman's class at Park Elementary School.  The first graders were thrilled to play reading games with the student council members, and they were happy to see that even "big kids" enjoy reading.  Ms.

The first week of September Diamond Fork Junior High School’s Cross Country team began their season.  The team consists of 7th-9th grade students who practice from 3:00 to 4:30 everday after school.  Many students choose to participate on the team because they love the sport and they get in excellent shape through all the exercise. 

Every month at Diamond Fork Junior High two students from the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades are selected as students of the month.  These students are nominated and then voted on by the entire faculty.  The students of the month for September are:

8th Grade: Heidyn Von Bose and Kaleb Moulton

9th Grade: McKae Nielsen and Jorgen Olsen
