Seniors at Spanish Fork High School gathered early Thursday morning (the 24th of September) to watch the sunrise and celebrate the start of the new school year.

Tyson Sperry commented, "This is fun, but my hands are really cold!" To help warm students up, there were hot chocolate and muffins provided as a delicious breakfast.

There was also a rock band competition held for anyone who wanted to participate.  Thanks to Senior Council and the Student Body Officerss for planning this fun kickoff to a great senior year!

This year, Spanish Fork High School has a new foreign exchange student, Christina Sun, visiting from Italy.  To find out more about her experience and what she thought about this new challenge, she was asked a few questions.

"Why did you choose to become an exchange student?"

"How is school here different than school in Italy?"
