Reading Challenge Encourages Students to Read
Spanish Fork is hosting the 2020 Fiesta Day Reading Challenge. To help promote the rodeo and at the same time to encourage students to read, the city is offering a Reading Contest. The goal is for students to read more this year than last year.
Students are reading the month of March so they can meet their reading goal to get his/her name in a drawing. One student from each grade will receive two tickets to attend the rodeo. Out of those students, 2 lucky students will be drawn to receive not only 2 rodeo tickets, but a pair of boots, a hat and wranglers. So get reading!

Kindergartner raises $450 for breast cancer research by selling cookies
SPANISH FORK — One kindergarten student from Brockbank Elementary raised almost $500 to help with breast cancer research with the help of friends, family, total strangers and some homemade cookies.
None of that would have been possible without a big goal and an even bigger heart.
