Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

Recently the dance classes at Spanish Fork High SChool put on a performance to show their parents and other students what they had learned that semester. There were thirteen different performances displaying a variety of styles including waltz, hip hop, modern, cha cha, and triple swing. Baylee Argyle, one of the Dance 1 students, said, “It was fun and loud. I’m used to performing, so I wasn’t nervous.” Brenda Mason, one of the dance teachers at SFHS, said, “It was excellent overall. They were a bunch of great students.

On Wednesday January 27, at Spanish Fork High School, students who are members of National Honors Society had a “Soup and Serve” service day. Everyone gathered after school and had a variety of soup, rolls and drinks then set to work on service projects. The projects consisted of sewing and tying baby blankets, making bookmarks, and cards. The blankets were made as receiving blankets that are to be sent to newborn babies in the Utah county region. The bookmarks were made to promote good reading habits in young children and to continue reading throughout their adult lives.

Two weeks ago was one of the last swim meets this season for the SF Don Swim Team. Region Swimming was held on Friday and Saturday at Vernal, Utah. The swim team has been working nearly every day these past few months, since last August in fact, in preparation for this meet. Region was to be the last swim meet for many on the team, but for everyone it was the last ditch chance to drop their race times down to qualify for state. In all the madness Kaley Thomas managed to do well and drop two seconds off her personal hundred yard race.

Spanish Fork High School discovers ideas for spirit Friday night on the basketball court and a crowd of screaming people. January 29, 2010 was the first themed basketball game at Spanish Fork High School: cowboys and Indians. The idea is proposed to move to other areas of the school and its activities. The student body looks forward to more of these themed nights to create more spirit at SFHS.

“Roses are red, violets are blue…” Spanish Fork High School’s poets, though not nearly that cliché, demonstrated their prowess of English and writing as many of the students who submitted their original works to the Creative Communication contest were chosen to be published in a book of submitted poetry and the chance to win over $2,000.00 in prizes. The students’ works will be published in the spring of 2010. Congratulations to Caitlin Anderson, Justin Brierley, Nohemi Castillo, Kaleb Davis, Sam Hudson, Emily McKinney, Malorie Mitchell, Alex Ord, and Jessica Taylor.
