English Superhero Here to Teach

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

 As many of you know Ms. Miley, a former English teacher, recently became an administrator. With her moving up we needed a new English teacher to take her place. This new teacher is Mr. Tonkinson, who likes to call himself an English Superhero.        

Mr. Tonkinson chose an English teaching route because he felt it was what he is best at. He said, “First, I discovered I loved teaching. Then I discovered that the English classroom would best utilize my strengths.”

GOAL! SHS Girls Soccer Team!

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

The girls soccer team made up of mostly freshmen and sophomores had a great season this fall at Springville High School. They only had a loss of four games, according to Diana Sanchez, the team captain. “It was a pretty good season, to some end,” Diana said. 

This soccer season was a great experience for the girls to get to know each other and learn to play as a team. “It’s been fun to get to know the girls. Sometimes we nag each other, but we’re really good at getting along and helping one another,” Anna Claire Smith, a player on the team, said. 

Brooke Critchfield, another player on the team, said, “We trust in each other better.”

Teacher’s Awesome Stories

Submitted by jennifer.dunn on

This is teacher stories; a section about teachers and the strange things that happen to them.

This one comes from Mr. Taylor, one of the CTE teachers, about his experience one fateful Halloween night!

“When I was a little kid I went trick or treating. I was so excited because I got a full size Snickers bar. Later that night I trick or treated a house and a huge guy said that on his home island they don't just give out candy, they trade. The guy then reached in my bag and took my Snickers bar, and then dropped a three pack of sweet tarts into my bag. I was so heart broken and I was too little to think about revenge. I have been scarred since that day.”
