Dave Jex is a teacher who truly lives by the Motto students are the focus, Success is the goal. He is positive and genuine, to his students and they know exactly what is expected of them. One student said that “Jex is very uplifting and Positive. He supports his students and knows them each personally.” I witness this every time I see students come back to the junior high. One question I always get is Have you seen Jex? He impacts his students in way that they will never forget.
We have such talented students at our school! The Theatre 1 students did an amazing job in their performances this week.
Ms. Heaton’s Reading for Enjoyment class decided that, for their final class project of the semester, they wanted to share their love of reading with a local elementary school. This past Wednesday, Ms. Heaton’s students walked to Hobble Creek Elementary to help Ms. Flake’s first graders with their reading and writing. It was a successful project, and everyone had an enjoyable time.
The band and orchestra have been busy presenting Holiday Assemblies for five of our local elementary schools. The students did a great job and the elementary kids loved it!
The Mustang Charitable Fundraiser recently finished up by raising $3479.20 that will now go toward three different causes. First, it was used last week to fund our Sub for Santa project - Student government students went shopping and bought gifts for local kids so they can have a christmas that they might not have had. Second, we will be buying fleece and tying the ends to make blankets for Utah Valley Hospital Primary Children's Network in Provo.
It's time for US History Honors track students to complete their term 2 project! This was done by Hannah Hill. Isn't it amazing? We have so much talent at MJHS!
