On March 2nd, 4th, and 5th, sixth graders from elementary schools all around Springville to spend a day at Springville Junior High, learning what it was going to be like next year.

The sixth graders went to an assembly where they are introduced to the faculty, their new counselor, some of their options for next year, and the way things work around Springville Junior High. After the assembly, the students were given a tour of the school and then ate lunch before going back to their elementary school.

Everyone at Springville Junior High got into helping the sixth graders feel welcomed and give advice on how to succeed. Some classes gave presentations during the assembly on what their class was like, and what activities they could participate in. The seventh grade English classes created survival guides that were handed out to the sixth graders, giving them advice on how they could succeed next year.

Springville Junior High is excited about having these sixth graders attend next year.
