Wolsey STAFF WRITER Open Enrollment It is the desire of Nebo School District that all schools develop and maintain strong community loyalty, balance, equity and fairness. Accordingly, it is the district's position and preference that students should attend school within the boundaries in which they reside. Notwithstanding this preference, resident students may be able to attend another school within the district through Open Enrollment. Open Enrollment allows a student to enroll in and attend a school in the district other than the student's school of residence. All students desiring to attend a school other than their assigned school must apply for school transfer through the Open Enrollment process. Applications for Open Enrollment transfer will be accepted beginning Dec. 1 , 2007 through Feb. 15, 2008, for initial enrollment to begin the 20082009 school year. Students wishing to transfer schools and participate in athletics must also comply with Utah High School Activities Association eligibility guidelines. For further information concerning Open Enrollment, please contact your school's administration or refer to Nebo School District Policy #JECB, Student Enrollment and School Transfer. The policy is available on-line at www.nebo.edu. A copy of the policy may also be obtained from any school or from the district office. Security Insurance TOP DON HONORING EXCELLENCE AT SFHS Whitney Wilson Kicking the drugs at Landmark The students of Landmark High School (LHS) in Spanish Fork, participating in red ribbon week, competed in several activities to encourage students to not take drugs. One of the students' favorite activities was the chance to play elimination basketball against some of the teachers. When it came down to the final players of the challenge, it was Kyler Adamson, 12th grade and David Clark from the teachers. Dave Clark won on his final layup shot over Kyler to win the match. The best activity of the week was the sipa tournament where students were encouraged to kick the drugs, by kicking the sipa around. Students also contributed to the dragon sculpture for the new building, by contributing the money that they would have spent on cigarettes during the week. Students who participated in red ribbon week were treated to a movie reward. ourtesy ph ELIMINATION: Landmark teacher Dave Clark prepares to shoot and get Jacob Johnson out. 4 Seat Airplane DA40 G1000 Avionics Now available First Time Ever at the Springville-Spanish Fork Airport Senior Whitney Wilson is the daughter of Robert and Shirley Wilson of Spanish Fork.
