The kids in our school were Corbin Jensen, Madyson Lott, Cambree Oyler, Aeris Eastland, Maddie Haugen, Holley Larsen, Joey Moleff, Sam Whitaker, Makenna Wilkinson, and Tanner Fraser.

Members of the Spanish Fork Jr. High chapter of National Junior Honor Society participated in a service learning field trip to the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. Seven of our seventy members made the trip with blankets the students made. We delivered no-tie fleece blankets for chemotherapy graduates. The volunteer coordinator gave the group a quick tour of the facility. We are honored to help with this great service and look forward to making more blankets next year. If you would like to help sponsor this service, please contact the advisor, Mr.

Spring Hike

Submitted by david.thacker on

The annual Spring hike put on by the PE Department did not disappoint this year.  Students were able to travel to Provo and hike to the "Y"  it was an awesome experience.  Although the trail was very steep everyone was able to make it to the top!  Everyone enjoyed spectacular views of Utah Valley and were able to enjoy some time outdoors in the mountains.  What an awesome State we live in!

Drama I Class Plays!

Submitted by david.thacker on

Last Thursday Drama I performed their class plays that they have been working so hard on. It was a huge success! The audience loved the three fairy tale remakes: The Fairy Godmothers, where the Fairy Godmother is leaving for vacation, leaving her assistant in charge.  Snowee White and the Seven Chicks, where rockstar Snowee White needs money and fame, but his uncle dies and that changes everything.
