CAROLYN WEBBER The Park Record The seventh-grade students shuffled nervously off the buses and onto the campus of Brigham Young University. They had spent weeks preparing for the competition, but, surrounded by high school students from around the state, they were second-guessing their abilities. Once the middle schoolers started speaking Spanish fluently, they gained courage. Their confidence continued to grow as they won the top mark in every competition. At the end of the day, the students, from Ecker Hill Middle School, were named the overall winners of the Spanish BYU Language Fair.

Finalists for superintendent role to be interviewed A committee of 12 will help the Board make the selection CAROLYN WEBBER The Park Record As the search for a new superintendent of the Park City School District continues, the Park City Board of Education is enlisting the help of district employees and community members. It recently announced that a 12-person committee will assist in the interview process to select and hire a superintendent. Andrew Caplan, president of the Board, said that six members are district faculty and staff and the other half are parents or grandparents of children in the district. The Board originally planned to select 10 individuals, but he said that there was a big pool of qualified candidates who applied to serve on the committee. Following an orientation on Friday, the committee and Board are set to inter- view candidates for the superintendent position on Saturday, May 5. There are six finalists for the position but Caplan said that the Board is not disclosing their names. The interviews are closed to the public.
