This month, a delightful surprise unfolded in the counselor's office. Imagine sitting down to plan your schedule, only to see your own face smiling back at you from a poster of classes offered! That's exactly what happened to one of our students, Izek Andersen.

While setting up his schedule, Izek noticed he was featured on a promotional poster for our UVU concurrent enrollment program. It's not every day you find yourself on a poster, and it makes for a great story! Congratulations to Izek Andersen, our very own UVU concurrent enrollment celebrity in the making!

We are so proud of Izek and thrilled to celebrate this fun moment with our community. It's these little surprises that make our school such a special place. We encourage all students to keep exploring, learning, and achieving—who knows, maybe you'll be the next face on a poster!

Veterinary Assisting at Bridgerland Technical College
Veterinary Assisting provides students with hands-on training to develop skills to work as support staff in veterinary clinics, shelters, or other animal-based entities.

Including instruction in animal handling and restraint, nursing care, animal health and nutrition, clinical pathology, radiology, anesthesiology, lab procedures, blood collection, IV catheterization, surgical assisting, dental cleanings, vaccines, physical exams, office administration skills, and applicable standards and regulations.

My role is to support positive parent–school communication and advocacy, helping parents understand education options, procedural safeguards, and resources.

Please be aware that on September 15th, there will be no classes due to the Nebo School District Teacher Development Day. This is an opportunity for our educators to engage in professional growth and development. We hope you enjoy your day off!

We're thrilled to share that the students in Mr. Hawks' Carpentry 1 Class have hit the ground running! It's only day 4, and they are already finishing concrete on their job site.

A big thank you to Mr. Hawks for guiding these students through practical applications of their studies.

Educators Rising students returned from their trip to Orlando, Florida for the Educators Rising National Competition with over 3,000 students from across the country. Nebo School District represented so well. Allianna Walters, Jastynnie (Arrow) Miner, Lucelia Green, and Autumn Partridge all competed and were very successful! A few of the highlights from the competition were:

Allianna Walters was announced as the 2025-2026 National Educators Rising President! She ran against thousands of students across the country and we are beyond excited for her! She also received a white ribbon for her competitive event, Project Visualize, where she facilitated a week full of activities for students at SFHS with special needs.

Jastynnie (Arrow) Miner received the Educators Rising Leadership Award and received a $1,000 scholarship. For this award, she spent 100’s of hours in special education classrooms helping non-verbal students learn to communicate, fundraised to put an AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication) Device in the All Abilities park in Spanish Fork, and even assisted a child in telling his parents he loved them for the very first time. When she was the one student in the nation to receive this award during the awards ceremony, the students from Nebo were ecstatic!

Congratulations to these students for a job well done!
