Viking Showcase set at Bonneville Junior High

The doors at Bonneville Junior High School will be opened for parents and students on Wednesday, Jan. 25, from 6-8 p.m. for the school’s annual Viking Showcase.

The Viking Showcase is a unique event at Bonneville and the one time of year when each department and group get to show off what makes it unique. Whether it is walking on a bed of nails in the science department, a challenging puzzle from the math department or a delicious crepe from the French department, the night has plenty to offer for everyone.

“Viking Showcase is a great opportunity for Bonneville Junior High students to show their performing talents as well as their academic success to their family and friends,” said principal Karl Moody.

The event kicks off at 6 p.m. in the auditorium with a short concert from the orchestra and choir, as well as a video presentation of events already held this year. After that, parents and students are free to explore the different offerings available throughout the school. 

While the Viking Showcase is for current Bonneville students, parents and 6th grade students from the five elementary schools that feed into Bonneville are invited to come and check out their next school.

“Viking Showcase gives our future students an idea what some of the classes are doing as well as an opportunity to become familiar with the school and see just how great Bonneville Junior High will be for them,” Moody said. 

Elementary schools that feed into Bonneville include Woodstock, Oakwood, Spring Lane, Twin Peaks and Arcadia.

Dinner choices will be offered in the cafeteria, as well as free sundaes for everyone. The school counselors will also be on hand to answer questions as well as to show parents how to navigate the Granite Gradebook website.

The event is sponsored by the Bonneville PTA and takes about 70 volunteers to make the evening a success. Bonneville is located at 5330 South 1660 East in Holladay.
