Show fbe entinel Guardian of Your Community News WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 2010 • B3 NHS benefits Red Cross Region 8 Jazz Band Janessa Nielsen SFHS Spanish Fork High School may have lost some of its numbers with the building of two new schools, but that doesn't mean it lost any generosity or caring for others. When the massive earthquake hit Haiti, the National Honor Society took charge of a fundraiser to send some Spanish Fork Don support to Haiti. The whole school took part by donating money, personal care items and writing letters for the Haitian people. Not long after, news spread about another earthquake, in Chile. Once again, the students of Spanish Fork emptied their pockets, donating their lunch money to those who needed food more than them. Christina Heywood, a member of the NHS, said, "I'm really proud of how the student body pulled through on our fundraiser. We were able to raise over $900, which will go straight to helping people." Namon Bills / Ttie Sentinel ALL THAT JAZZ: Payson High School hosted the Region 8 Jazz Festival Wednesday, March 3. Local jazz bands competed for the chance to go on to state. In order to continue to the state competition, bands had to score superior ratings (I's) from both judges. Maple Mountain, Salem Hills and Payson qualified for state. Spanish Fork came close, with Iscores from each judge. Above, Maple Mountain senior Marshall Levi plays vibes. Below is the SFHS jazz band.

Mr. Skyhawk SF Singers visit schools Chanetelle Jones SFHS Spanish Fork High School's choir, the Singers, recently performed at some Spanish Fork schools. They went to Brockbank Elementary on Feb. 26, 2010 and to Riverview Elementary on Feb. 19, 2010. They also performed at Spanish Fork Jr. High on Feb. 16th, 2010. Director Shea Bradshaw said, "We wanted to give our elementary schools a great free assembly. It was also a great opportunity to get more practice time." The choirs performed some of their show choir numbers as well as some chamber numbers, so the students could know what both sides of choir at the Spanish Fork High School was like. Christina Hey wood, a student in Singers, said, "It was so much fun! We were able to spread the word about how much fun choir is. It was such a great feel- ing you got when you had an audience and you had people actually responding to you when you were done performing." During the assemblies, Bradshaw had a few students share their thoughts about why they are involved in other activities outside of choir. He also had them tell the students how being in these other activities helped them to be better in choir, promoting the idea that you can do other things along with choir.
