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

February 2011

Hello Scorpions,
Isn't life great! The year is half way over and soon the sun will shine (we hope). But to add a little sunshine to your life the side bar has been updated with the things to look forward to in February.
Your PTSA is excited to see the banner up in the gym, that you all worked so hard for. Those will be there for generation of Scorpions to enjoy and we are proud to have gotten them for the school.
We are also gearing up for next school year, and we are in need of some volunteers! PTA is a lot easier in Junior High, but still needs about 10 people (or more) willing to commit to making it work. This year most of our board members are moving on and we need help for next year! We have some great traditions in place, so no one will need to reinvent the wheel to help out, we just need committed parents to step in and make a difference for our school. If you are that person, or know someone you could suggest, please let Kim Eschler know.
And... PLEASE feel free to join us for an open PTSA on Feb 8!!

We are looking forward to a great month... GO basketball and NHL!!
