Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

The ballroom club had their first meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 16th. Students didn’t take the time to talk or do future planning. They just danced the waltz, cha cha, and little bit of country swing. There were about six boys and eight girls. Lucky for the boys, they got to dance with every girl. Since all of them had already had some ballroom background, it made the dancing more exciting. Annie Morris said, “It was fun to get to know the people in the club and dance for the first time with the club.” Everyone is hoping for more meetings like this one in the future.

The swim season for Spanish Fork High School is off to a good start. They participated in the annual Utah County Invitational. It was made up of all the schools in Utah County. They swam against 12 other teams, all of whom had many more swimmers. They held their own against the other teams. The boy’s team placed 7th overall and the girl’s team took 9th. They had many swimmers place high within their races. Jesse Roberts took first in most of his races. Colton Christensen placed high in his races as well.

5,4,3,2,1, Blast off! Ever wanted to build a rocket? Well in Mr. Bronson's Physics with Technology class, they do just that! For the past two weeks students have been making and launching bottle rockets, experimenting to figure out how to create the perfect rocket for maximum distance. When asked why he has the students do this exercise, Mr. Bronson responded with four reasons. First, it's a Physics with Technology class, which is a CTE course, and it emphasizes hands on learning. Second, the classes just learned about projectile motion, and now they can experience the real life application.

The Spanish Fork Cross Country team celebrated their fall season with awards, pizza, and games on Thursday, November 11, 2010. At the Spanish Fork High School, in Coach Amanda Merrill’s classroom, the SF Cross Country team gathered for a banquet, where awards were given, lots of pizza was eaten, and hilarious games were played. In honor of their coaches, Madison Hansen made Coaches Amanda Merrill and Reve Tortel, t-shirts with the team picture from the Region race at Maple Mountain on it. Every athlete signed the t-shirts for the coaches.
