The middle school volleyball team did a fantastic job this year. Most of these athletes have been working hard in volleyball since they were in 3rd grade. Their love for the game showed this year more than ever. There were so many young ladies that joined this year we created four teams.
The “Blue & Gold” team did not travel and had home games every Thursday after school. The other three groups traveled to play and were all undefeated the entire regular season.
The “C” team was led by Taylor (S), and she also played for the “B” team toward the end of the season as an all-around player. Taylor received the “Most Improved” award. Kristin (S) played for the “C” team and stepped up to play for the B team in the “B” team final tournament.
The “B” team was led by Arlette (S), Dakota (OPP), Laney (S), Pamela (L), Monze (OH), and Gabriella (DS). Pamela played Libero for the final tournaments for both the “B” and “A” teams. Pamela also received the “Most Improved” award. 2022 was her first year playing volleyball for Dakota, and she had terrific serves. Dakota received the “Rookie” award. The “B” team placed second in the I-40 “B” Team League.
The “A” team was undefeated all year long. They are the Champions in the I-40 “A” Team League. Crystal (OPP), Bella (OPP), Jordyn (DS), and Andrea (L) contributed to our success. The team was led by Gracie (OH), Aura (DS), Eva (OH), and Isabella (S). These four young ladies received the Spartan Award for the season. The Spartans never get down on themselves and know how to keep playing with a positive attitude. The bond they share is unique and beautiful.
We are very proud of our Lady Spartans: Coaches Erika Acosta, Evelina Acosta, Cristina Santoyo, and manager Treighton.

Dear Middle School Families,
There will be no middle school RTI for the 4th quarter. However, all middle school students have an essay due at the end of April for Mrs. Broehm. This essay is the final part of Mrs. Broehm’s make-up project for the weeks missed due to Covid. This essay will not be worked on during the regular class time. Your child will be responsible for working on this essay at home. Mrs. Broehm encourages all middle school students who need help writing their essays to stay after school from 2:45-4:00 Monday-Wednesday.
Dear Ash Fork, Middle School Families,
Here is a preview of the teambuilding permission slip that will go home with your child on Monday.
Ash Fork Middle School will be going to Johnson Canyon’s forested areas on the north side of Welch Road for team building on Tuesday, March 22, 2022. During team building, your child will participate in capturing the flag, scavenger hunts, and brain puzzles. The Johnson Canyon wilderness area features some treed areas and larger flat areas that will be used for the activities. There are dead weeds in all of the areas that we will be visiting. These weeds can be scratchy and irritating on the bare skin. Please make sure your child is wearing jeans that protect their legs, socks, and tennis shoes. We will be leaving school around 9:00 and returning to school by 2:30.
