Kaitlin Schramm, senior at Maple Mountain High school, is currently interning at Hobble Creek Elementary. Schramm likes grade school and teaching because she loves being around children.

Schramm’s duties include helping students with math problems as well as collecting and grading papers.  Something that was impactful for Schramm was when some of the girls in the class helped her complete an art project and they made her a name tag to display it. This made Schramm feel part of their class.

Tyson Skaggs, Maple Mountain High senior, is interning at Air Gyro. Skaggs has been studying about becoming a pilot by learning and studying a book called FAR-AIM. Skaggs has also helped build a plane.

A cool experience Skaggs has had while at Air Gyro is, “Crashing a simulator,” said Skaggs.

The internship program has been beneficial to Skaggs because he knows more about the airline industry.

“There’s nothing like being in the air,” said Skaggs.

Jessica Campbell, a senior at Maple Mountain High School, has been interning at Anderson & Cook Chiropractics.  Jessica was drawn to this internship because she has always been interested in the medical field and enjoys helping people by providing benefit to their lives.   This internship has enhanced her knowledge of the medical field through hands-on experiences, which have influenced her decision to continue her pursuit in the medical field.

Thirteen Maple Mountain High students have been named Sterling Scholars for 2010-2011. The students chosen will now go on to the state competition in February.  The categories and the students chosen are:

This week’s Maple Mountain High Prep of the Week is Aleksa Gappmayer. Aleksa, sophomore, is the starting point guard for the Lady Golden Eagles.  Aleksa is Maple Mountain’s leading scorer with 12.7 points per game.  Aleksa likes to play basketball because it is really fun to play, it’s a team effort, and she is on a really good team with her best friends.  The team and Aleksa’s goals are to make it to the state tournament and have a good placing. So far this season the Lady Golden Eagles are 8-2 starting region play on January 11.

This year is Maple Mountain’s first year to host a Sub-for-Santa fundraiser.  The fundraiser was sponsored by all the service clubs and student council. This includes National Honor Society, PTSA, and Key club. The goal was to raise $5,000 to help out families in our schools and surrounding community this holiday season. We surpassed our goal by raising $5,044.50 with the help of a parent who made a generous donation of a little more than $2,000.
