The Lady Dons Basketball hosted the Uintah Utes on Tuesday November 22 for their first win of the year. They were ready to begin the season with a win to prove that they have it in them to have a great season. Senior Kelli Hales and Junior Alyssa Brown both had a successful game with 10 points each.
As evidenced by the sea of blue Future Farmers of America jackets, this year’s 84th national FFA convention held in Indianapolis, Indiana was one of the largest gathering of High School students in the country. Charlie Warren, Cheyeanne Jensen, Swasey Bliss, Casey Warren, and Wyatt Peay had the honor of being there while representing Spanish Fork High school.
Last week our school celebrated red ribbon week, a week to celebrate and spread awareness about being drug free. The National Honors Society sponsored the events throughout the week. On the first day of red ribbon week, the NHS passed out red wrist bands that said, "I pledge to be, DRUG FREE!" Students were challenged to wear these all week to help promote drug awareness. Red streamers, red balloons, red ribbons, and red ties could be found in the commons, on all the door handles of the school, on cars in the parking lot, etc.
Spanish Fork had a fantastic turn out for this year's blood drive. If you didn't go yourself, it is likely you saw someone with a bandaged arm roaming the school with a smile on their face. While sitting with a needle in your arm, did any of you wonder why you were doing this? Giving blood not only feels good, it has the possibility to save multiple lives.
On Thursday October 10 the Lady Dons volleyball team played North San Pete hawks, in a breast cancer awareness game. The lady dons wore pink bows in their hair while playing and on their right foot they had a pink shoe lace. The game was started with a dedicatory song for all those that are struggling with breast cancer, have fought the battle of cancer and those that have lost loved ones to breast cancer sung by Bridget Ausiata. Much of the student body came dressed in pink, supporting Breast cancer awareness month. And to cheer on the lady dons as they faced the lady Hawks.
