Hard fought game with Kaysville Jr.
Awesome halftime performance by FFJH cheer!
Arts appreciate Month at FFJH and we would like to recognize:
Mrs. Groneman is in her 6th year of teaching, and loves being able to spread the joy of music to others! She graduated from Utah State University (go Aggies!) where she served as a Drum Major and Pep Band Director during her time there. She loved performing in and leading various wind ensembles, woodwind quintets, etc. Her efforts in music has allowed her to travel to various locations all over the country, including Disneyland 😉
When she isn't making music with her classes you can find her nerding out with a good book, playing video games, and building lego sets. She loves to cross stitch, watch a good movie, or dominate at board games with her family.
If you stop by Mrs. Groneman's office, you'll see she is a Guinness World Record holder. You'll have to guess what the award is for though!
Please join us for "Stories from Childhood" from our Rhapsody group. Shows will be held in the Choir room:
Nov 14th & 15th at 7:00 pm

I have been in education for over 27 years. With 26 of those years being at Fairfield Junior High. where I have taught Art and Photography. As well as coaching Track and Field.
I love to travel the world to experience different cultures and cuisines. Some of my favorite cities that I have visited have been London, Paris, Berlin, Athens, and Rome. But some of the most beautiful places I have visited have been the National Parks right here in Utah.
I like to stay busy. When I am not working or traveling you will find me attending music concerts, visiting museums, enjoying the outdoors while hiking with my dog, or drawing and painting in my studio.
One fun fact is that I have a closet full of t-shirts for every concert I attend and for every new place I visit.
Another great win for FFJH! Let's go basketball!
