Latinos In Action Conference 2024
The LIA regional conference aims to engage and inspire students in college preparation. Students attended leadership and character development workshops and, most importantly, learned of the many resources and opportunities for student support that makes a college degree a reality. We extend our appreciation to Weber State University, where the conference took place, and to Mr. Sanders, Roy Jr.'s LIA Mentor.
Roy Jr. Presents:
"The Sound of Music"
Months of preparation have paid off at Roy Junior High with the production of "The Sound of Music", directed by our talented Mrs. Joy Bement. The cast and crew include 56 of our students. They have worked diligently to provide their audience a truly unique and engaging production. We extend our appreciation to our parent volunteers, staff, and many others who donated their time and talents to pull this off!

The members of Roy Jr.'s Latinos in Action created Valentine's boxes. These are not just your ordinary boxes, though; LIA took it to the next level in the creation of these boxes. Needless to say, they had a very diverting Valentine's Day!
DLI Update
Our 7th grade Spanish Dual Language Immersion students and 7th grade students at Colegio Champal in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico, are corresponding with each other via videos on a secure platform through Level Up Village. This is a pilot program for the Utah State Board of Education. They are creating videos and responding to videos in both Spanish and English.
Roy Jr. FCCLA Update
Exciting News from Roy Jr FCCLA! 🍰🏆
February was an outstanding month for Roy Jr FCCLA as our talented students showcased their skills and determination at the regional competitions. We are thrilled to announce that out of the five students who competed, we secured both bronze and silver awards! Their hard work and unwavering dedication truly paid off, setting a commendable standard for our team.
But that's not all—Roy Jr was selected to host the regional FCCLA Baking and Pastry competition! It was an absolute delight to welcome students from two different school districts to our campus, where they competed passionately for the chance to advance to the state level. The atmosphere was electric, filled with creativity, camaraderie, and a shared love for the art of baking and pastry.
As we look ahead to March, our sights are set on the State competition, where our students will have the opportunity to showcase their talents on an even grander stage. We couldn't be prouder of all of our chapter members accomplishments and are eager to see them continue to excel!!
Congratulations to all our competitors, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported and cheered us on along the way. Together, we are truly making Roy Jr FCCLA shine!!

District Honor Band
District Honor Band was a huge success. We were honored to be conducted by Austin Hilla. He reached out and had one of the composers of the songs we played send our students a special message. It was pretty cool! They all did such a great job representing their school at this event.

196 Club
In my classroom, I have challenged my students to be able to name all 196 countries on a blank map in less than 15 minutes. At the start of this year, I had only four members of Club 196 (I created the club in 2022, so this is the third school year it has been a thing). So far this year, I have had seven people join the club (only six have had their name added to the wall because the 7th person just did it yesterday). They have to do this on their own time and they get their name on the wall and a custom 3D printed Club 196 keychain. The names printed in white are in my AP Human Geography classes and the names in red are in my regular Geography for Life classes.

Talent Show Assembly
Many of our talented students showcased their talents at our annual Talent Show Assembly. It is a favorite assembly of our faculty and students alike. Some of the talents demonstrated were rapping, piano playing, singing, playing the guitar, dancing, and so many more. We were blown away by the PURE TALENT our students have, and thank them for sharing!
