Spanish Fork High School may have lost some of its numbers with the building of two new schools, but that doesn’t mean it lost any generosity or caring for others. When the massive earthquake hit Haiti, the National Honor Society of SFHS took charge of a fundraiser to send some Spanish Fork Don support to Haiti. The whole school took part by donating money, personal care items, and writing letters for the Haitian people. Not long after, news spread about another earthquake, in Chile.
