Welcome to Spanish Fork High School

On Saturday, November 7, the Spanish Fork Band competed at a competition in St. George at Dixie State College. They competed in the 1A competition against seven other bands. Unfortunately, they didn’t place at the competition, but Drum Major Lori Swain felt that it was their best performance ever. “It was a really good opportunity to see how all of our hard work and dedication could make us come together as a band,” said Swain.

Spanish Fork High School’s Autobody classes are doing a service project for a fellow classmate, Travis Lindsey, who died in a car accident last summer. Classes are working hard to do body work on Travis’s mom’s car. They are working on sanding it and filling it, and are going to be ready to paint it soon. They expect to be finished in just a few weeks. “I feel like I can help Travis Lindsey’s mom” said Devin Cox, a junior. “He liked autobody so much , and I thought I could help.” Students are feeling good about their chance to serve one of their fellow classmates by doing what they do best.

Spanish Fork has recently started a Youth City Council for this year. The council is for students who are interested in government and learning more about it. There are about 32 students in the council ranging from 9th to 12th grade. The students help with the mayor and city councilmen to help problems in our community that teens are worried about.

This week’s intern highlight is Sami Meinhart, who interns at the Nursing Rehab Center in Spanish Fork. She helps take care of elderly people who are in rehab there. Meinhart helps feed the patients, do laundry, and care and provide for the patients. Meinhart has fun with her internship. “It’s hard work to care for old people! But I still enjoy it,” she said. Meinhart wants to go into a career in nursing or rehabilitation so the experience she is gaining now will help her in the future
