April 22 and 23 Dance Company and the dance classes at Maple Mountain High School performed at their end of year showcase. There were a variety of dances ranging from a modern hip-hop dance performed by Dance Company to the classic waltz performed by one of the social dance classes. Some of the dances featured were choreographed by the students themselves, while others were choreographed by a professional choreographer. The dances had a wide range in themes and dance styles, which wowed the crowd as the dancers performed intense tumbling acts and body movement.

The Maple Mountain boys soccer team has now finished playing every 4A schhol in our district for region soccer. Although they haven’t won a game yet, our fans and our players  have hope for the future. 

Will Shelton, keeper of the team said ,“I feel like we have the ability to play with these teams and we’re beginning to become a team.” Hitting hard with a surprisingly two to one loss against Salem Hills in game one, the Golden Eagles have come far considering it’s the first team of the new school and Springville scored the least they’ve been able to on any team this season.

Junior Golden Eagle Kayla Adams has been busy interning at Peaks Physical Therapy. She helps with all sorts of tasks, including assisting the facility by sanitizing work areas and creating heat packs. She also observes exercises performed by the physical therapist, learning valuable experience in the meantime. One of the neatest things for Kayla in this internship was observing the dramatic improvement in patients and watching the recovery exercises make positive differences in patient mobility.
