Amber Fregoso is one of our fantastic seniors from Springville High School. She is Lakota/Mexican. Her friends and family would say that she is shy when you first meet her but don’t be misled, because once she gets to know you and you get to know her, you will say she is outgoing, loud and joyful.  She is also very caring and has a way of knowing if someone is having a hard time. In her free time she likes to relax with a good movie or just taking a nap.  She also like sitting outside and listening to music.

Springville High English Teacher Joanna Ellsworth will have a poem published called "Dissociative Memory" by Southern Quill which is a literary journal that publishes short creative works and is run out of Dixie State University. The poem is dedicated to her father, who passed away a few ago, and it meditates on how, when we lose a loved one, we sometimes have difficulty recalling them in their entirety. In her father's case, Ellsworth became fixated on his hands, which manifests in the poem. 

Springville High Junior Tristan McAfee competed on April 22 at the ASL State Competition and won the 3rd Place bronze medal for her acrylic art work.

The theme of her art was language. Her inspiration came from a deaf artist named Chuck Baird. McAfee created the art work just for the competition; she thinks it was the best piece she has ever done. She has been creating this kind of art for a long time.

The competition was hosted at Herriman High School with many other schools in the region.

Springville High Sophomore Monet Jorgenson loves writing and she has found that she has a real talent for it.  Recently, Jorgenson had one of her poems published on the DSU Southern Quill.  She said that it was about “celestial spoonfulls.”  When asked what inspired her.  She responded, “Just space, and the stars.”

She’s proud of how her poem turned out.  However, this wasn’t her first publication, it was her third!

This month Caitlin Washnock, a Senior at Springville High School, had one of her art pieces published in Sugar Rascals; which is an online literary magazine featuring art and writing from teens.
