Juniors Are Represented with a Plethora of Joy!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Last week was junior week at Spanish Fork High School: which included a fun activity every day. On Tuesday to kick of the week everyone received a bottle of bubbles because you're never too old to enjoy the magic of blowing bubbles! Also on Tuesday the juniors got out for lunch 10 minutes earlier than the rest of us; which Ashley Voss said was "freaking Awesome! The best part of junior week!" Wednesday was a little more contingent upon the rest of the student body; it was "high-five a junior" day.

SFHS Mission: Intervention

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
A new semester means new classes and new schedules for the students at Spanish Fork High School, but this semester they’re adding a new dimension; SFHS is adding a two-a-week period called intervention. This period will be about 30 minutes long and allow students to study, do homework or do make-up in a class. Some teachers are even allowing students to participate in class activities such as painting, drawing, or sports.

Snowflakes and Hot Chocolate Served at SFHS

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
On Wednesday, January 12, Spanish Fork High School Student Council found themselves busy preparing for a lunchtime activity in the Commons. While the Senior Council boiled gallons of water, the Student Body Officers found tons of paper and scissors to make snowflakes, and the Junior Council brought fun games to play. As soon as the bell rang, students from all over the school began flocking to the main building. Everyone knows nothing is better on a cold day than a delicious cup of cocoa.

SFHS thanks their custodians

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Spanish Fork High School would like to send a huge shout out to their fabulous custodians and all their hard work. Especially this time of year, in this cold weather, they are out making the side walks clear and safe. With majority of the school being outside, it takes a lot of work to make the school a safe environment. No one will never catch them doing anything other than very productive work. They are always putting their best foot forward. Along with their ability to work hard, they are all very friendly and supportive to the students.
