Our library is a place to read, study and have a little fun. Besides books and other media, Mrs. Olson provides a place for students to gather to play chess, work on puzzles and make buttons. She also displays student projects for various classes that can be viewed by students and parents. Next time you visit the school, stop by the library and see what's happening.

PARENTS: You and your children have been so generous with food and other supplies and as a result, our school is the single largest contributor in Utah County to Tabitha’s Way! We have collected close to 20,000 items to date toward our goal of 25,000 that we want to meet by this Friday. Because of this compassion for others, we will be interviewed by multiple news agencies this week.

Diamond Fork Parents,

Every week our Journalism and other students work tirelessly on the school news that is broadcast every Friday during 2nd period. The students look forward to the highlights of the week with anticipation. On this week's news we have the KSL tour and food drive class taunts. Follow the link to see what's going on at DFJHS!

The National Junior Honor Society is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NJHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1929.

Have you ever wondered what all the layers of rock in our mountains are called or how different types of butterflies and insects are native to our area? Well, last Friday, Miss Hanks took a group of 100 biology students on a quest for knowledge to the Natural History Museum of Utah, an architectural marvel and a case study in the “green” design created by community generosity. The museum illuminates the natural world and the place of humans within it.

IMPORTANT

We found that our parent survey link for our accreditation process was not working. We have corrected and tested the following link:   http://www.advanc-ed.org/survey/public/5277857.

Please take a few moments to follow the link and complete the survey.  All responses will be anonymous. Thank you for your help in this area.

It is time for our school’s annual Talent Show, the STAR’S ASSEMBLY! This show is a chance for some of the STARS of Diamond Fork Junior to show off their talents. We welcome all types of talent: singers, dancers, instrumentalists, actors, martial arts, or whatever your talent may be.

We will also need an MC to host the show, so if you would like to audition for that, come prepared with a sample of how you would run the show.

Diamond Fork Jr. High's HOPE Squad had the opportunity to take a field trip to Mrs. Allison Hansen's. Mrs. Hansen is a certified mental health therapist. Allison uses horses as part of her treatment to help her clients. She has a nice big barn with all the necessary equipment used to care for horses.
