Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

On January 26, 2010, the Spanish Fork High School Hope Squad visited the Spanish Fork Junior High, and then visited Diamond Fork Junior High on Friday, January 29. They went to the student’s health classes to talk about self esteem. They shared a story about self esteem to the students to show their point. They were trying to tell the students to be nice to each other and to build up each other’s self esteem, not to tear it down. Candace Wride, a Hope Squard member, said, “The students were excited to see us because we bring candy to share with them.

The DECA Club is a marketing club that competes against other schools in various topics from a quiz bowl on marketing to creating a fictional business. This year Spanish Fork High School had two students, Matt Christiansen and Tyler Galt place at the region competition. But it’s not all fun and games. Being in DECA can open doors for you. The DECA organization gives out scholarships to those who do well. Colleges are also at the competitions giving out scholarships.

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.
