This year, the Spanish Fork High School vocal jazz choir has transformed into a female force called Las Voces Hermosas. This all girl ensemble participated this last week in the SLCC’s vocal jazz festival in Salt Lake City. While working with the clinicians, the group was impressive enough to receive an invitation to perform in the evening concert featuring jazz professionals Kerry Marsh and Julia Dollison. Las Voces Hermosas will be featured in the upcoming SFHS Spring Sing on May 18th.

Sophomore week was a big success at Spanish Fork High School. It was kicked off with a pizza party. For only two dollars students could get two pieces of pizza and a soda along with a live band, who performed in the gym during lunch. Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 was “hug-a-sophomore day;” all students were encouraged to hug their favorite sophomore. The next activity of the week was the Battle of the Sexes Spirit Bowl. Students of opposite genders competed in the games to see which gender would be named Battle of the Sexes Champion.

Sandra Vergara, a student at Spanish Fork High School, took first place in Region with her Reflections project. The project consisted of a video depicting what beauty is, which was the theme for this year’s Reflections contest. She received a certificate and a medal for winning Region, and will soon advance to the State competition. She said this about winning Region, “I felt really good; when I got the letter I screamed at the top of my lungs.” She was inspired to do her project after reading a book about Philosophy.
