Principal's Message
Just For You
Bearing Fruit
It's been said that a parent affects eternity and never knows where his or her influence stops. We know that to be a true statement, but nevertheless, it's difficult to stay conscious of such a grand notion as we move through our ordinary days. Who has time to ponder the fruit of every little action or to consider its effect on perpetuity?
Gandhi offers a more practical approach:
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.
When we do the right thing — in our lives and in our homes — we need not worry about how we are affecting eternity. Eternity will take care of itself.
With something to think about . . .
Sincerely,
Daniel P. Weishar
Principal

senior students
have received for post-secondary education. This could include academic/merit scholarships, talent-based scholarships, art/writing contests, and any other form of scholarship or award used for post-secondary education. Even if the student has been offered multiple scholarships but does not intend to use all of them, we want to know about all of it. This information will be shared in a printed program at our Senior Recognition Night on Wed. May 16 at 7:00pm. Parents/students should use this link to submit scholarship information:

Please contact Bree Toone for questions.
In honor of AFHS student, Keaton Smith, there is a
new scholarship
for graduating senior athletes this year: #carelikekeat. This scholarship is for any AFHS athlete (of one or more sport) who has displayed genuine kindness while participating on an AF High athletic team. This is to honor the kindness and positive qualities that so many people remember about Keaton. Students who want to apply need to submit a letter of recommendation from a coach and teacher. Applications are available in the AFHS Counseling Office. Application
deadline is April 20, 2018
. The winner will be presented the award at our Senior Recognition Night on May 16, 2018.

HOPE PANTRY
Student Council is starting a
Hope Pantry
that will provide for students in need at our school. The plan is that as students meet with their advocate or counselor and a need is identified, that the counselor or advocate can take the student to the pantry and provide them with the supplies they need. Student Council would like to stock the pantry with basic hygiene products such as deodorant, brushes, hair ties, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine products, shampoo, conditioner, and bars of soap. Lightly used clothing, such as pants, shirts, jackets, and formal wear for dances. They would also appreciate new clothing including underwear and socks. School supplies and non-perishable food will also be included in the pantry. Because this is a new project, we ask for your help to stock these supplies. If you are willing to help out our cause, please donate any of the above products by bringing them to the Front Office. Thank you!

American Fork High School Symphony
toured NYC March 28-31 and took the city by storm. The students toured Ellis Island and Liberty Island, Central Park, the Natural History Museum, Seaport Village, Harlem, Chinatown and Little Italy. They rode the subways like locals, shopped in Times Square and went to the Top of the Rockefeller Center and saw the entire city. The ultimate activity was the performance by 88 Symphony Orchestra students performing in the timeless Carnegie Hall on March 30, 2018. They received a standing ovation from the crowd as they played music by the great Masters in orchestra music... Brahms, Copeland, Stravinsky and John Williams. The students were awesome in performance and in behavior! So proud of these kids! They represented AFHS in the best way possible! Proud to be a Caveman!
