This year Springville Junior High went for something big. SJHS decided to have a fundraiser to help fix the tennis courts across the street from the junior high. These last few weeks students have worked hard to give our school extra funds for improvements.

For the school’s fundraiser this year the students sold cookie dough and magazines. There was a large assortment of cookie dough to choose from, along with magazines.

The cookie dough should arrive the 23rd of October. Students will pick up the cookie dough eighth period and bring them home after school. The students will deliver your cookie dough as soon as possible.

This year Springville Junior High earned $8, 000 from the fundraiser. The money will go towards getting a new tennis court. The tennis courts the tennis teams use have cracks everywhere and there are weeds growing everywhere, so it is time to upgrade them.

The new tennis courts may not be installed until the spring of 2009. “We have to get three bids, but because we are still getting bids, the new court will cannot be installed until the spring” explained Kathryn Crandall, who teaches Service Learning and is in charge of the fundraiser.

Thanks to all the parents who supported their students and to all the neighbors who helped the school earn money. Your cookie dough and magazines will arrive shortly.
