Spanish Fork High School student council teams up with Make-A-Wish Utah for the 8th annual “Homeless for A Night” event to raise money to grant wishes for local children with life threatening conditions. Students stayed at the school on Friday, March, 2, 2018, from at 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturday, March 3, 2018. All money raised through this event and others will benefit Make-A-Wish Utah. Nearly 1,000 high school students support the event, and Spanish Fork High School has raised over $15,000 to donate to Make-A-Wish Utah.

The Nebo Education Foundation meets each month at 7:00 a.m. to discuss submitted educational grant proposals for students in Nebo School District. One of the goals of the foundation is to fund worthwhile projects in the district that provide resources to enrich student learning.

The Nebo District Chess tournament held in February at Cherry Creek Elementary was a great success. Many volunteers, community members, and district personnel came together to provide a high quality tournament where over 200 students, representing 34 schools, enjoyed a fun and mind engaging event. 

Attached are the photos of the winners in each category. Congratulations!

In February, four girls from Spanish Fork Junior High traveled to Dell EMC in Draper to attend a kickoff event for a club called, "Girls Who Code." This event was attended by students in grades six through twelve from around the state of Utah. Reshma Saujani, the mastermind behind the program and author of the book Girls Who Code, spoke to the group about the importance of technology and how to solve problems in our day-to-day lives. She explained that this field is growing with limitless possibilities, but many girls do not realize their potential in this area.

Members of Mapleton Junior High’s band, orchestra and choir gave a stirring and energetic performance at February’s Board Meeting.

Principal Nate Whitney introduced the arts programs and their directors. He emphasized the hard work each group puts into these performances and what an honor it was to play for the Board. The choir and band opened with a great rendition of “Beyond the Sea” followed by a performance from an orchestra quartet.
