Show WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2008 - 7 Covering what matters most Open enrollment going on now 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 2008-2009 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 online at www.nebo.edu. A copy of the policy may also be obtained from any school or from the district office. Introducing new SFHS vice-principal Tana Clarke SFHS Mr. Reese Brunson was recently hired as the newest member of the Spanish Fork High School staff. Mr. Brunson was hired to replace Troy Bohling, who has moved to Salem Hills High School to be a vice-principal. When the job position at Spanish Fork came open, Mr. Brunson was contacted by Nebo School District and asked if he would like to be Mr. Bohling's replacement. Brunson, a 1988 Spanish Fork graduate, jumped at the chance to return to his alma mater, as well as the place of his former employment.

Lee plays several instruments, but the one he feels most partial towards is the piano. He has been playing the piano for approximately five years. For a while Lee was tutored by a teacher, but later he chose to quit lessons and teach himself. His musical influences include modern rock, the world renowned film composer John Williams, and his older brother. "My older brother, Abe, used to sit down at the piano and play little simple things, and he would make it up, and I just thought it was wonderful just to sit and listen," Lee said. Though Lee likes most every kind of music, he feels that he himself is a classical musician. In the future, Lee hopes to write music for a career. Student interns with Innovative Communications Josie Osborn SFHS Gabe Lee "I would love to go into film composing. That would be wonderful. I don't know if I will, because I want to be able to provide for a family, but that is an idea. I love music so much, even if I just composed on the side," he said. Between schooling, school choir and writing a symphony, Lee keeps quite busy, but when he gets the chance, he loves to snowboar4 with his friends. 4 Seat Airplane DA40 G1000 Avionics Now available First Time Ever at the Springville-Spanish Fork Airport st 21 Century "Glass Cockpit" DA40 Garmin 1000 Avionics Jeremy Osborne, a senior at Spanish Fork High School, is currently participating in an internship through Innovative Communications.
