Just before Thanksgiving, students from Maple Mountain High School traveled to Washington, DC. Students visited the National Archives, Washington Monument, Library of Congress, Capitol Building, Lincoln Memorial, Gettysburg, Arlington Cemetery, Iwo Jima, Jefferson Monument, Mount Vernon, Smithsonian, WW2 Memorial, and The Wall.

Students commented on the most impactful places they toured.

“Holocaust Museum, to see what they had to go through and that some got through it,” said Rose Gashler.

On Saturday, December 11, students enjoyed a Holiday "Yule" Dance.

Maple Mountain High School had many students who participated in the 2010 Reflections contest. This year’s theme was “Together We Can.”  Students submitted work in the following categories:  3-D Art, Photography, Dance, Theater, Music, Literature, and Visual Art.

Jamie Farley, a senior at Maple Mountain High School, interns at Revolution Manufacturing, a snowboard factory. Farley is faced with many tasks including researching on the computer and even helping produce snowboards in the factory.

Farley says, “I love snowboarding and that is the line of business that I want to go into in the future. I’m more interested in the fashion and clothing side of the snowboarding business though. I am still really interested in this line of work. It’s something I’m really passionate about, and I know that it’s what I want to do in the future.”

Maple Mountain junior Tyler Clement is working an internship at IO Stream Solutions. IO Stream Solutions is a website development company in Provo. Tyler says that web designing is a fun and exciting field of work that comes easily to him.

“For the first couple of weeks I worked in marketing. This was fun because it was new and I hadn’t done it before. Now, I’m coding different websites, like Mod Bod and others,” said Tyler.

Tori Nielsen, a senior at Maple Mountain, is currently interning at Mapleton Junior High School. While at MJHS, Nielsen observes the teacher, Mrs. Gleave, teaching math to her students. Some of her duties as an intern are to help students with their math problems when they have questions or don’t understand.

Nielsen says she is interested in this line of work because, “I have been around amazing teachers my whole life. They have had such an impact on my life, and I would love to do that for someone else.”
