The end of the year is coming up fast, so get ready for summer! Some of the events that are coming up are last chance dance on May 14th, and awards assembly on May 22nd, yearbook signing which starts on the 28th, and best of all…Lagoon!

Most students are excited for Lagoon which will be on May 27th. Unlike other schools, Springville Junior High School lets seventh, eighth, and ninth graders go. Mr. Trent Mikesell, an English teacher at Springville Junior said, “I think that going to Lagoon is fun, and it builds up our school community. Students should remember school as an enjoyable place as well as a place of learning.

Mr. Mikesell also said, “I am very excited for summer. Teaching is a great job because you get a break every summer to do whatever you want.” When asked what he would be doing for the summer he said, “My wife is about to have a baby, so I get to learn to be a dad. I will also be going up to my parents’ cabin to go 4-weeling and rafting.”

Seventh grader MacKenzie Pullman said, “In some ways I’m excited for summer, but in some ways I’m not. I will miss the teachers here and friends. But I also like having a break. It gives me time to go on trips with my family, like we are going on a cruise to Alaska.”  She also said that she thinks one of the most fun things at the end of the year is being on the track team. “This school is way better then elementary!” MacKenzie said. According to MacKenzie, most of her friends are excited for summer and all the fun activities that they will be able to do.
