SF Physics Races to the finish

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
In the last few weeks the physics classes of Spanish Fork High School created some air pressure powered cars. These cars were built from nothing but card stock paper, metal axels, wood blocks and plastic wheels. The class members glued these materials together to make their machines. Fantastic cars were built and raced all around the different classes. For example, one of the physics students, Wesley Curtain, built a car with wings on the side. Amazingly, this car "the Flying Crusant, actually got some air when it was launched.

Alice in Wonderland at SFHS

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

On April 28th-30th at 7:00 PM and April 30th at 3:00 PM, Spanish Fork High School will be putting on the production of Alice in Wonderland. The script was written by Meg Grierson, the drama teacher at Spanish Fork, with the help of some students, using material from the movies and books. There was a great turn out from the fall production ‘Phantom of the Opera’, and SFHS is hoping to be able to get the same turn out for this performance. A lot of hours have been spent working on the elaborate costumes and the set, and all of the students are excited for their roles in this magical play.

AP Testing Review Begins in Earnest at SFHS

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Students at Spanish Fork High School are preparing for some of the hardest tests they've taken yet. Many students throughout the course of the year taken Advanced Placement courses, and have learned a lot; they're now learning to mesh everything together to pass the test with flying colors. AP tests are graded on a scale of one to five, five being the best you can get. If students receive a three or higher they pass and will receive many college credits for very cheap. Students are using every opportunity, free time, and homework time they have to study up using various methods.

Who cried “Wolf?”

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Hitting three home-runs and having eleven RBIs by herself. It was a fantastic game for Kylee Wolf. She didn’t really expect it happening. The first home run Wolf hit, she thought it was just a line drive and wasn’t going over. Little did she know it was a shot over the fence. She was rounding first base and realized that it was over and then she started jogging around the bases. Wolf’s second and third home runs were high but long pop ups, and they went over the fence. She said it was “luck.” We all know she can do this all the time if she wanted, and it wasn’t just luck.
