On the first day of school, students enrolled in Nebo’s building construction class leave the school grounds and head to an empty lot at 1073 West River Ridge Lane, Spanish Fork, UT  84660.  At that time, there was nothing but brown grass and some sage brush.   Now, seven months later, there is a beautiful 3,876 foot house that is close to completion.

On Tuesday, February 22, Maple Mountain Lady Golden Eagles beat Westlake in the 1st round of the 4A basketball tournament, 53-43.   Maple Mountain and Westlake fought for the win in the state tournament which was played at Salt Lake Community college in Taylorsville.
