On December 5, 2025, Wahlquist’s 7th‑grade girls attended the Women of the Workforce (W.O.W.) Conference, hosted by Weber High School’s DECA and FBLA chapters at Weber State University. Designed to inspire and inform, the event introduced students to a wide range of career paths—especially those where women have been traditionally underrepresented. Throughout the day, students heard from accomplished women in real estate, medicine, business and marketing, infrastructure, finance, education, computer science, entrepreneurship, and engineering, gaining firsthand insight into the skills, opportunities, and possibilities waiting for them. 

Our school Garden Club pulled the annuals from our garden beds, then covered the beds with leaves to prepare for winter. The leaves give pollinators like bumble bees a place to overwinter. The leaves also add organic matter to be turned into the soil in the spring. We enjoyed working in our school garden.

The NJHS got outside enjoying nature, getting exercise geocaching, learned team building, grant and scholarship applications, and participated in service. We appreciate the staff, parents, and helpers who were integral to our success today. The holiday cards made were so thoughtful and will be appreciated by local seniors. What a great experience that will live on with us all!

Student Gov organized a field trip to hike to "The Major", a 150'x78' American Flag hanging in Cold Water Canyon by The Major Brent Taylor Foundation. Teachers nominated students to go on the field trip as an incentive. Josh Johnson, an MBTF volunteer (and Sr. Saunders' brother), told the group the backstory about how the flag came to fly in North Ogden.

After the hike in beautiful weather, we enjoyed lunch at Pizza Pie Cafe. Jennie Taylor visited us and talked about how we can better thank veterans for their willingness to serve to protect the freedoms we enjoy. Take action and advantage of opportunities that come into your life and work to make "a more perfect union" every day.

Our 7th Grade Officers were in charge of our trunk this year. They represented us well with a Peanuts Gang theme. Thanks for your planning and hard work!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing custodians at Wahlquist junior high school. Your hard work, dedication, and attention to detail keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming every single day. Whether it’s early mornings, late nights, or behind-the-scenes tasks, your efforts do not go unnoticed. We truly appreciate everything you do to support our students, staff, and community. Thank you!

The Hale Centre Theater is amazing! Their performance of “Sister Act” was spectacular! The nun’s church was set in a Gothic style Roman cathedral with flying buttresses, which I have been teaching about in Art 1. That was an academic connection. Also, I laughed, cried, and gained a greater understanding of love for all during the performance. What a great message! - Mrs. Parslow
