Utah College Application Week

Submitted by bonnie.beckstead on
Spanish Fork High School students have had a great time participating in Utah College Application Week.  The Latinos in Action partnered with the counselors to promote UCAW and make it a school-wide event.  Students participated in a College Scavenger Hunt where students were able to find different QR codes that were hung around the school to find information about different Utah colleges. Students that participated were the recipients of candy and college swag. On Tuesday, students were encouraged to dress in college apparel and also participated in lunchtime activities.
