Last Thursday, we had over 300 of our students participate in the annual Fun Run. This is a 2K run around the field and down the road by the movie theater. This was part of the Panther Pride activites for 3rd term- "Respect for Self." This term, students also had an incentive to keep track of eating healthy and finding ways to care for themselves. 

Debbie Jarrett has a smooth running kitchen.  All the ladies who work for her love her.  She is willing to do extra things for the school, such as making peanut butter bars as rewards for students.  Debbie is friendly and tries to reach out to everyone in the school to make them feel welcome. Thank you for all you do for our students at MNJHS!!

Learn how you and your family can step up to higher education at the UVU open house on March 19th. Participants can attend presentations on the importance of college and how to prepare and pay for college. College and university representatives will be available to answer your questions about Utah’s higher education options, as well as how to apply and obtain financial aid at their institution.
