March Newsletter

Can you believe 3rd quarter will end this month??
This month our focus and cheers go with the Girls Basketball team!!

We are also desperately looking for help for our PTSA. We understand Jr. High can be a daunting place for adults and maybe our kids don't want us there, but PTSA is a great way to keep in touch with what is going on with student and the school. We find that so many parents quit volunteering once their kids enter the secondary school, and honestly, we still need the help! Please contact Kim Eschler at 801-791-7825 if you are interest in offering your time.

Thank you for all the support of our students and faculty!
Your PTSA

~End of year stomp: We are looking at hiring the 97.1 DJ from earlier this year, he has enough black lights to light the gym. We were thinking a Neon beach theme. More info to come. Mr. Marchant will follow up with a date for us.

~Pancake breakfast: May 20 with our last donut date. We will pre sell tickets and invite the feeder 6th graders and their families.

~Next year/letter to students: We are really trying to reach incoming parents. A slide with Kim’s information has been added to the 6th grade registration info. A letter will go home with 6th graders in April about SRJH PTSA, the feeder elementary are putting notes in their newsletters too. Mr. Marchant will look into getting us the emails from the district so that we may reach the parents. We will also push for better communication to all parents.
