After a four-day weekend, students at Spanish Fork High School came back to school fired up and ready to show their school spirit.

One of the biggest dress-up days during was “Hat Day’. Not only could the students break the rules for one time in their life and actually get away with it, but there was some wild fun as students walked the halls with sombreros and other crazy hats.
