Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

Spanish Fork High School’s Student Council had the opportunity to attend a Leadership Conference at UVU this past week. They learned about heroes, communication, service, and many other helpful topics. They even had the opportunity to hear from Miss Utah.

Kambri Shenk said, “It was a great experience and I’m glad I went.”

“I broke a board!” exclaimed SBO Garret Stirland.

The student council was grateful for this experience to learn how to better serve the school.

Namon Bills, the editor for “The Sentinel” newspaper, visited Spanish Fork High School’s AP Literature class to help teach students how to write newspaper articles. He gave many hints for newspaper writing for the students of that class. Christina Heywood said this about her experience,

“It was really cool to get an inside look on how newspapers are put together. I never realized how much work it takes. It was great to learn how to write newspaper articles.”

On September 24, the counseling center at Spanish Fork High School had their first Window in the Workplace presentation for the students. These presentations are meant to help students learn more about different careers from the people who work in them. At this presentation, Dave from Northwest Orthotics and Prosthetics came to speak to students about his job.

In his presentation, Dave explained that his job was to build prosthetic limbs for people. He also brought some prosthetics that he made and passed them around to the students. He then told what each one was for.

The intern spotlight of the week is Alex Singerman, who interns at Brockbank Elementary. She helps Mrs. Creer with her 3rd grade class. Singerman helps teach the kids and learns from Mrs. Creer. She also helps with all the 3rd grade classes by cutting and sorting papers for the different teachers, and she gets to play with the kids at recess.

“I’m totally the jump rope champion!” she said. Singerman learns a lot from Mrs. Creer and she enjoys her time as an intern.

SFHS had a spirit bowl last Friday. They had a competition between the seniors, juniors, sophomores, and the faculty to see who had the most spirit. They had competitions such as musical chairs, a relay race, crab soccer, and a tug o war. The seniors dominated on the tug o war, while the juniors won the relay race, musical chairs and crab soccer. The pep assembly had everyone pumped up for their rivalry game against Payson which happened on Friday also. The juniors won the competition, with the faculty in second, the seniors in third and, the sophomores in last place.
