All of their articles do have to be based on real life events going on at Springville Spring-ville Jr. High School. There have been a lot of things going on in our school and we have always had stuff to write about. There are nine students in the journalism class: Mckalee Allen, Bree Hathaway, Hath-away, Amy Peterson, Jennifer Jen-nifer Luther, Lisa Nielsen, Sydney Joyner, Jessi Kolesar, Kole-sar, Nicole Hancock, and Karolyn Campbell. Our teacher is Mrs. Cunningham. Cunning-ham. We interviewed Mrs. Cunningham and she told us that she has been teaching teach-ing this class for about four years. What she really enjoys en-joys is that in journalism she has fewer students, so she really gets to know those students much better than normally. She also enjoys sending articles in to the newspaper and helping the students with them. Mrs. Cunningham Cunning-ham really didn't ask to teach the journalism class but it fits in with the other classes she was teaching. She also teaches Language Arts, Honors English and she sets up the yearbook. We interviewed one of the students in the class, Karolyn Campbell. She told us that she joined this class because it sounded really fun. Karolyn likes to write so it seemed to be just the thing for her. The one thing she enjoys learning learn-ing in this class is how to properly write articles and how fun it really is to send stuff in and see your article arti-cle in the newspaper. We hope to keep you informed in-formed of the things that are happening at Springville Spring-ville Jr. High. Mrs. Wimmer teaches skill buildiM at SJHS Bree Hathaway SJHS STAFF WRITER Skill building is a class for if you need help in behavior, be-havior, attitude, and ISS (In school suspension). Mrs. Wimmer has taught skill building for ten years and is still doing it today! The reason why Mrs. Wimmer has taught skill building so long, is because she has a great compassion for kids, and kids who are Knights Quest has helped students learn social behaviors Karolyn Campbell SJHS STAFF WRITER The Knight's Quest is a program at Springville Jr. High School that reinforces reinforc-es positive social behavior among students. Once a week, teachers focus on one of the three DRSL's (desired results for student learning) to teach the students. The students learn how to become effective ef-fective communicators, responsible re-sponsible citizens, and successful suc-cessful learners in school and in life. Topics such as apologizing, apologiz-ing, preparation, and listening lis-tening are addressed, and students are given the opportunity op-portunity to learn more about them', and practice those skills in the class room. The program began three years ago in an effort . to help students improve socially as well as academically. academ-ically. Teachers have said that they have seen a difference dif-ference in the behavior of students since the program has been implemented, and the change has been for the better. The school has set a higher level of expectation, and students have risen to meet the challenge. . Sydney Joyner, an eighth grader in our school, says that she believes that the Knight's Quest has improved im-proved the atmosphere of our school, and made it a friendlier, safer place to learn. She says that students stu-dents don't have to just wonder about how they are expected to behave, because be-cause they know. Many parents also are supportive of the program. Ruth Campbell says, "Our children need to know how they are expected to act. They need to know their boundaries, so they know not to cross them." Students at our school are benefited by the Knight's Quest, and other great programs established to improve their lives socially so-cially and academically. Hopefully, most students will take advantage of t,he opportunity to learn, and will apply the principles of Knight's Quest throughout their lives and academic careers.
