We are SO PROUD of their hard work and professionalism at the competition!
The judge commended us in his verbal and written critique on a "beautiful sense
of ensemble work and a very mature approach to the material." The play was
a delightful and heartwarming play about 4 differently abled men with mental and
psychological challenges in an adult group home that was supervised by a social
worker. Their instructors are Lisa Marie Daugherty and Andre Newport.
Our Fall Book Fair was awarded the President’s Award for creativity and use of
the student crew which resulted in a 63 percent increase over last year.
SFJH was the only middle school in Texas to receive an award along with two
elementary schools.
Overall, of the ten recipients, only three middle schools in the United States were
selected.
This accomplishment will be recognized in next year’s planning kit and will receive
$500 Scholastic Dollars allowing us to purchase additional materials from
Scholastic. The Junior High Librarian is Susan Bunde.
