Spanish Fork High School NHS Members Deliver Thanksgiving Dinners

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The week before Thanksgiving, the entire National Honors Society of Spanish Fork gathered together. This was to organize food they had collected to bring Thanksgiving dinner to those who couldn’t afford it. They spent their first few hours buying the turkeys and organizing the food. Once they had it organized, they stayed up late delivering turkeys, potatoes and other Thanksgiving essentials through the snowy November evening. The NHS members worked to serve and the recipients were delighted to find that they could have a great meal for their family on Thanksgiving.

SFHS Students GiveThanks by Serving

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
SFHS students spent their Thanksgiving break visiting residents in the Spanish Fork Nursing Home. Due to the stormy weather, some of the resident’s families were not able to visit them for the holiday. Kenya Jimenez, Freddy Jimenez and Alexandra Cia helped keep the residents company and hoped to make the Thanksgiving Spirit more prevalent. The Residents were very grateful for the students to give their time, and for bringing their homemade cookies and treats. The students felt very grateful for the opportunity to give their time, and the chance to get to know the residents.

Thursday, November 18, Spanish Fork Letterman’s Club had the opportunity to go to East Meadows Elementary school and read to the little kids, K-6th grades. They read to them for about fifteen minutes, and then they played at recess with them. At recess, there were a lot of different activities going on, depending on age and gender. They played for fifteen minutes and then came back to school. This was a great experience for everyone involved. The kids kept asking when they were going to come back.

The Concert Band and the Marching Band came together to put on a beautiful concert for their friends and family. It took place in the Main Gym at 7 o’ clock, and they performed for roughly an hour. The students had been working hard on these pieces since the first week of school, and it was finally time to show off what they had accomplished. Kyle Lowe, a member of the concert band, excitedly explained about his favorite song, a piece from the Phantom of the Opera.

Stomp Out Hunger

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
In 2008, 49.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, 32.4 million adults and 16.7 million children lived without food in their homes. These days families don’t have enough money to buy food for their families so they go without. Spanish Fork FFA didn’t like those statistics and wanted to do something about it so they held a food drive on Friday, Nov. 19th. In order to get the High School students better involved in the school food drive, the FFA made it into a competition between the B2 classes.

“Awesome!” “Amazing!” These were just some of the words used to describe the new Harry Potter movie which was recently viewed by the students of Spanish Fork High. Late into the evening of Friday, November 19th, students of all creeds and social backgrounds gathered in unity to witness Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and the lovely Hermione (Emma Watson) struggle against the Dark Lord. Hosted by our very own SFHS Book Club, this screening was a roaring success.

SFHS Dance Company “Going Solo”

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

November 16, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. Spanish Fork High School’s Dance Company presented “Going Solo.”  All of the girls on the dance company either did a solo, duo, or trio.  Some of the dances were the own girl’s choreography, and some were choreographed by another person.  This was the first time the school has done this, but we hope to make this an annual concert.  It was a good way to raise a little money, and to also prepare us all for the busy performing season that is coming up.
