The week started off great. The 21st was Banner Day; each homeroom was asked to make a banner using the theme of Return of the Hawk . They were judged and Doug Allen's art class took first place for the second year in a row. Tuesday the 22nd: Color Day. All the students were asked to wear school colors; the football team came with their heads painted with giant A’s on them. During lunch the student body officers held a pizza eating contest.

Then to top the day off with activities, the freshmen football team battled with West Jordan, resulting in a 29 to 12 victory for the Hawks. Thursday the 24th: The Might Pep Rally. This year the officers tried something new. Instead of just lighting of the A they had tried to light the whole school name ALTA . Fireworks lit the sky despite the rain.
