Our Diamond Fork LIA students attended the LIA conference at the University of Utah along with 1,700 other students around the state. The conference theme, “I Can, We Will,” focuses on students using higher education to find their voices and passions, as well as helping them succeed in becoming community leaders and trailblazers. The event features two keynote speakers, Joaquín Zihuatanejo, a poet, and Jeffrey Allen Mendez, an entrepreneur, marketer, and sales training expert.

Governor Gary R. Herbert has declared May 3, 2018, as “Utah Prevention Day!”

SCHOOL CELEBRATIONS
Utah Prevention Day gives secondary schools around the state an opportunity to celebrate the prevention lessons that students have learned throughout the year. Teachers can review and reinforce those life skills taught before students leave for the summer. We want to protect our students from the dangers of drugs, under-age drinking, violence, crime and bullying.

Any 8th graders interested in applying for our National Junior Honors Society for 9th grade need to pick up an application either from the office or from Mrs. Anderson in room 16. The completed applications are due by Friday, May 4th returned to Mrs. Anderson.

We will be switching over to a "block" schedule this Tuesday May 1- Friday May 4 to accommodate for our end of the year tests. This schedule will allow longer class periods in order to give students more uninterrupted time to take the assessments. We encourage students to get extra sleep, eat a good breakfast, and do their best!
