Now that Christmas and New Years are over, students at SJHS are already looking forward to the next holiday: Valentine's Day! "I love Valentine’s Day! It is the love holiday, and it always involves chocolate! What more is there to life?” said Mrs. Kathryn Crandall, teacher at SJHS.
A fun Valentine's Day tradition at Springville Junior High is Valigrams. Valigrams are little notes with candy attached. You can send them for fifty cents. "I love Valigrams! They are the best!" said Maddi Dayton, eighth grader at SJHS. "It is fun to see people get one," agreed Brooke Caswell, also in eighth grade.

Another fun Valentine's Day event at SJHS is the Valentine's dance. It is one of the few formal ones. Students come dressed in their best clothes, ready to dance with the guy/girl of their dreams and have a lot of fun!! "The Valentine's Day dance is great," said Audri Petro, ninth grader at SJHS. "The gym is always decorated so pretty!"

"I love Valentine's Day! Everything: candy, cards, the whole nine yards!" said Sarah Fawson, eighth grader at SJHS. So whether you celebrate with a special someone or with a group of great friends, Valentine's Day offers something for everyone at SJHS!
