SFHS Kenzie Beckstrom Makes a Hole In One

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
In golf, a hole in one is just about as likely as winning the lottery in Utah. Impossible. But one of our very own Lady Don golfers succeeded in sinking the ball in a single shot. It was April 20, 2011, on a very tricky par 3 at Gladstan golf course. On the second hole, Kenzie Beckstrom smacked a high lofting shot with her pitching wedge. Kenzie said, “It landed on the green, and I expected it to be an easy putt for a birdie.” To her surprise, it just kept rolling straight for the cup. The suspense mounted as she and her fellow golfers watched the gradual descent towards the pin.

CRANES AND CLOTHING FOR JAPAN

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

The Spanish Fork High School Japanese Club has challenged it's members and students school-wide to help with the enormous task of folding 1,000 paper cranes. Why one thousand paper cranes? As legend has it, there was once a young Japanese girl who was very sick and close to death. She had heard from people in her community that if one was to fold a thousand paper cranes, a wish would come true. So she began to fold, as did countless friends and loving strangers.

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.

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.
