Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

Music is the life of Spanish Fork. On Wednesday the 27th of October, Spanish Fork High School held a combined orchestra concert. It consisted of all the high school groups: the ninth grade class from SFJH, and both the Philharmonic and Chamber groups from Spanish Fork High School. This is a tradition brought back called "the monster concert" in which each group gives an individual concert, and after they've all done that, they give a combined performance, featuring students from both schools. The conductor of the SFJH group was Mr. Wells, and the conductor of the High School groups was Miss.

In contrast to speeding out of the parking lot for lunch, many students went to Spanish Fork High’s commons area. Thursday was Purple Pinkie Day. Students had the chance to donate a simple dollar in exchange for their pinkie to be dyed purple. But who would want to pay to have their pinkie colored purple? Those who knew it was for a good cause, that’s who. One dollar was enough to give two children a polio vaccine. It was lighthearted and fun, and those who were involved took pride in their purple pinkie. Those who donated were proud and glad they could help a child in need.

The Spanish Fork Swim team beat Timp View in their meet against American Fork, Timp View, and Lone Peak on Wednesday October 27. Their boy’s team blew the competition out of the water when they placed 2nd in their relay race. They had many place very high individually and earn their team many points. The season is starting out to be a good one. They have the talent and ability to do well in meets. They could have a chance at taking region, but they would need more people to join. They are a strong team and will continue to do well.

This past week Spanish Fork high school put on a blood drive. Kay Thomas Perkins said, “We are still the bloodiest school around.” Although it wasn’t as successful as SFHS has had in the past, students still did a great job. Spanish Fork High donated around 25 units of blood. Jake Meservey a student who donated blood said, “I felt good to donate and help other people out.” There will also be another blood drive at the end of the year. SFHS encourages everyone to watch for when that is and to come out and donate so SFHS can give even more this next time.
