Maple Mountain High announces the March students of the month.

 In five years, Sophomore Erica Olesen sees herself attending college figuring out her new, bright future. Erica favorite subject in school is math because everything has an answer, and it is very precise.

Her favorite quote is, "Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt to you, it’s your choice on how you play it." She likes that quote because it helps her remember that everybody is different and that you shouldn’t need to compare yourself to others.

Tarin Strosser is a sophomore on the Maple Mountain girls track team. Tarin's main events are the hurdles - 100m and 300m hurdles. Tarin won both hurdle events at the Timpanogos Invitational this past weekend helping her team to a strong 2nd place finish out of the 25 teams entered. Tarin is also a member of the MMHS girls basketball team. Congratulations Tarin!

On March 14, Mr. Holden’s UCBT class and many peer tutors had the opportunity to be a part of a deaf/blind experience. This was a great opportunity for many of us to get a little better understanding of what it would be like to be deaf and/or blind. Many students commented on how fortunate they were to have their sight and hearing. It was a great learning experience for all. Thank you to Sundi Goulding from USDB for taking the time to share this experience with us.

On March 2, Mr. Holden’s UCBT class celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday by having green eggs and ham as part of their Life Skills activity. Did you know green eggs and ham do not taste any different than regular yellow eggs? Some students were hesitant to eat the green eggs, but they overcame their fears after Mr. Holden said he would eat some if they did!
