Watch the school's calendar for the dates of these activities. This gives you an brief summary of each event that is typically held annually.
Mountain Man Rendezvous
Usually in October for 4th grade
The mountain man rendezvous were unique occurrences, associated with fur trappers, where many cultures joined in the intermountain west from 1825 to 1840 and made exchanges of goods, services and skills that influenced all who participated. These events also had great impact on westward expansion of the United States. Participating in a rendezvous, students will gain hands-on experience with some activities relating to this time period. Students will demonstrate a working knowledge of basic mountain man skills as they go from station to station at the school rendezvous.
Halloween Class Parties and Parade
October 31st (or the Friday before Halloween)
School is released at 12:30pm. Costumes are allowed but no masks, weapons (real or fake). Class parties are held at the end of the school day and are followed by a parade in the school at 11:45am. Parents are welcome to attend the parade.
Social Leadership Training
6th grade
Students have the opportunity to attend social etiquette trainings throughout the year after school. Topics include ballroom dancing, table etiquette, social conversation, and more. The students then finish their training with a formal Patriot Ball in the Spring. This is very similar to a cotillion.
Renaissance Feast
November, 5th, 6th, grades
JHCS 5th and 6th grade students learn about the Renaissance. This event throws students back in time to the Renaissance. They come in costume to a feast with a king and queen where they are assigned a title, eat authentic foods with their finders and are entertained. Volunteers needed to prepare, serve and clean up.
Inspirations Art Contest
Begins in September and all entries due in December, Open Invitation to All Students
JHCS submits art entries for competition across charter schools. The competition is similar to the PTA's Reflections Competition. There are many categories to choose from and students may enter as many categories as they like, however they are only allowed one entry per category.
Science Fair
December or January, 5th & 6th Grades
Students in 5-6th grade are required to do a science fair project. They usually begin their projects in September and they are typically due in December or early January. We then hold a school level fair to determine winner who will compete at the Charter District Science Fair. Winners from the Charter District Science Fair then move on to the Central Utah Science and Engineering Fair.
Colonial Day
Usually Spring, K-4th grade students
Students will have the opportunity to learn more about what it was like to live during this period of time by rotating from various stations. Volunteers needed to help with the stations.
Talent Show
Usually Spring, All Students
The talent show invites all students who wish to participate. All grades will be attending the talent show, but the format is decided annually based upon the number of entries we receive.
Move Up Day
May - Usually during the last week of school, All Students
Students visit the classroom of the grade they will be attending next year and meet their new teacher.
Dance Festival
May - Usually during the last week of school, All Students
All grade levels perform a dance they have learned during P.E. in the dance festival at the end of the school year. Parents and other family members are invited to attend. Costumes will be assigned prior to the performances. This event is typically held at Discovery Park in Pleasant Grove at 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm and students are to be picked up from the park after the performances.
Performances - Strings and Choir
We typically have at least once concert annually. Watch for information regarding performances in your updates you receive from the school.
