Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

The Spanish Fork High School National Honor Society is doing their annual Thanksgiving service project. The NHS asks for names of families that are struggling and wouldn’t be able to have a thanksgiving meal. Then NHS goes and buys food for them so that they can have a nice Thanksgiving meal. This year NHS was able to go to 42 homes and provide a thanksgiving dinner for them. This project is a great way to have the students of NHS realize that service benefits everyone.

On Tuesday, November 17th, the Spanish Fork High School Jazz Band had a performance during lunch in the SFHS commons. Students eating in the commons were serenaded as they enjoyed their lunches and some even started dancing along with the music. The members of Jazz band are Jonny Broomhead, Nathan Kimball, Adam Swasey, Taylor Allred, Kyle Hutchings, David Andrews, and Justin Brimhall, with Mr. Bryant Smith as their director.

On Wednesday, November 18th, the dance classes at Spanish Fork High School went to Salt Lake City to watch the world class modern dance group Pilobolus perform. Pilobolus is named after a type of fungi because of the unique shapes they create. Lawson Bendall, one of the students who went to this, greatly enjoyed the performance. “My favorite part was the closing number which started out with fireflies. It just looked really cool. We had a great time up there in Salt Lake!” This field trip gave all of the students who went a chance to understand a unique style of dance and to just have fun!

Close Up is a club that explores the government and how it works. Members of this club recently had the chance to go to Washington D.C. to see our government “Close Up”. On their trip, they got to go to the Lincoln Memorial, the Holocaust museum, Arlington Cemetery, Capitol Hill, and they even had the opportunity to meet both Utah senators! “We got to meet a bunch of kids from other states, so we got to learn more about different cultures from other states. It made me want to be involved more with our government after learning everything they do,” said Stefanie Muhlestein.
