Thanks to all those that tried out. Coach Carroll and I admire those that put themselves out there and tried. Wish you the best. Please return the practice jerseys to Coach Carroll or Coach Gull. These individuals made the first cut.

• It’s that time again, we are pleased to recognize our Diamond Fork “October Students of the Month”. These students were selected by their teachers and peers as those who not only excel academically, but who are examples of good character and kindness. These students were honored this morning at a breakfast with their parents and those who nominated them.

We had over 600 students on the honor, high honor, or 4.0 rolls during the first term of the school year. Last Friday they were awarded with a certificate and given a "star" cookie for being amazing students, nice work!

• Our annual Diamond Fork food drive will begin today and run through November 17th. Non-perishable food items and canned goods are appreciated. Students will be competing with their 6th period class to see who can donate the most items, we have a school goal of 25,000 items. The top 3 classes will be rewarded with a prize. The 1st place class will receive a pizza party, 2nd place root beer floats, and 3rd place will get King size candy bars. We want to say thanks in advance to Mr. Buck and all those who will be helping. 

Both boys and girls basketball tryouts for 9th grade students will take place next week.

We had a great Halloween here at Diamond Fork today. Our students had some amazing comstumes, and from the following pictures you can see our staff dressed up too! Check out our Facebook page, "Official Diamond Fork Junior High School" to see over 100 pictures of our students who dressed up. 

Our Fiiz Friday winner today was Naomi Good. Naomi has perfect attendance for the entire 1st term of school. That's 46 days being here at school ready to learn, nice job Naomi!

7th grade students in the Career and Technical Education classes enjoyed learning from guest speakers Sherwin Lott and Tim Glover Friday. Students learned about the heart, what happens in a Cath lab, and even spent time working on a pig heart! It was a great expereince!

In full Halloween costume, our Diamond Fork orchestra performed last night at Spanish Fork high school. It was a fantastic concert and our students, led by Mrs. Searcy, did a tremendous job!
