We talked to Zack Antonino, one of the student section starters. We asked him why he decided to start the student section “ Me, Colin, and Maizie(all in 9th grade)  just thought it would be a fun way to socialize at the games.” The student section has had people that usually don’t go to the games start coming. Then we asked what his favorite theme to get people to dress up in was and his favorite is white out.Lastly  we decided to see what the people in the crowd actually thought of the games and the student section.

Have you ever been to one of Springville Junior Highs school plays? If you haven’t you definitely should when it opens in March. It will also help fund our school’s stage. It’s also just a fun experience for students. Quincie Barton said “I tried out for the musical because I like to sing” She also said that she likes having a good time. Quincie said the tryout process was this, “I had to prepare a song, wear a dress, and do a dance.” Overall, the school play is just a good fun thing that students can choose to be in and if they decide not to try out, they can just have a good time watching the play. We're excited for this spring's musical to open soon!

My coach thought I was better than I actually was tried I lift me up but when he did I was overwhelmed with dizziness.

Recently our school started a new program, chivalry citizenship. What it is, is all the students get a card that has a bunch of awards on it such as extra credit,a free treat or a free tardy. How it works is if you have a good citizenship grade you can use these rewards to go to lunch 5 minutes early and get $1 off of a dance/Play. Most students are happy about the change, Kelly Robertson said “I like the chivalry card because we get to go to lunch early also, I like the free treat because we get free food.” On the chivalry cards there are three early lunches. When you use them you get to go to lunch 5 minutes early so you have a chance of getting the food you want.

Some students say that the dances have become a little boring. When asking the students what they thought, there were lots of different opinions.

When asking Lauren Mesinar what she thought about the dance she said “Yes I think they are fun to go to.” Lauren said that her favorite part about the dances is being able to talk to all of her friends.
