Guardian of Your Community News MMHS Key Club sponsors service The current economic recession has dramatically affected many families in our community. The combined Key Clubs from Spanish Fork High School and Maple Mountain High School will be collecting money during the month of December to provide needy children in our community with Christmas presents. On Saturday, Dec. 19 from 10 a.m.-l p.m., members of the Key Clubs from both schools will be in front of the Spanish Fork Library on Main Street to receive donations from those in the community who would like to contribute. If you would like to contribute directly to this program, you can either drop off a donation to one of the two local high school Key Clubs or you can call Spencer Pugh (798-0578), President of the SFHS Key Club or Katie Tanner (798-0816), President of the MMHS Key Club for more information. The Maple Mountain High School Key Club also recently participated in the school's Festival of Trees where trees were decorated and sold to raise money to purchase new books for the school library.

Diamond Fork Junior High subs for Santa Mia Dawe and Sydney Thompson DFJHS Diamond Fork Junior High students have a tradition of serving their community throughout the school year, and Christmastime is no exception. Students at the school selected 20 needy local children and provided shirts, pants, shoes, coats and up to 2 toy items for each child. Their motto has become: "No matter what the need, Diamond Fork will succeed!" With many families experiencing a loss of employment and high economic stress, the number of children needing help this Christmas has grown, while donations have dropped. The students at Diamond Fork Junior High encourage the Spanish Fork community to rally around those needing help this Christmas, and assist in any way they can. May this Christmas remind us all that true happiness comes through serving others.
