Diamondback Parents,
Welcome to the fourth week of school. We are absolutely loving having your students here and are constantly amazed at all of their positive qualities. This morning we were lucky enough to have one of our own choir students sing the national anthem to us. Not only was it beautifully sung, it was a true treat to have it shared by one of our own. To think that we have nearly 1200 students who each have their own strengths and positive qualities leaves us overwhelmed with happiness. Here at DFJHS we want to encourage every student to find the positive and share it with others. To look at what they can do to make Diamond Fork a better place and to encourage others to do the same. We thank you for sharing your students with us and allowing us to be a part of such a great adventure.
