Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Last week SFHS held their annual Red Ribbon Week. National Honors Society (NHS) is in charge of putting on the activities for the week. There were many fun activities that encouraged the students to keep their lives free of drugs. The theme for the week was ‘I like me Drug Free.’ On Monday the students all signed pledges to be drug free and put on wristbands to remind them all week. On Tuesday NHS tied red ribbons on the car antennas in the parking lots. Wednesday was door decorating day, and the students all decorated their classroom doors to advertise a drug free life.

Youth Court Convenes

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Youth Court is a program in Spanish Fork where first time offenders of small crimes can go and find ways to make up their debt to society. When kids 14 to 18 commit a crime like stealing, vandalism, and other small offenses, they can attend Youth Court and work with the kids involved in the program to get their crime erased from their record. “Kids can do stuff like write essays, clean up the mess they made, do community service, and other simple things that help them realize what they did wrong,” says Karianne Nelson, who is in the group of students that help find solutions.
