Maple Mountain High School’s FFA Chapter will participate in this year’s Festival of Trees.  The Festival of Trees is in its 39th year and operates through a board of all women who volunteer their time to benefit the Primary Children’s Medical Center.  Businesses and families throughout the state enter the festival displaying their talents and abilities in creating a unique Christmas tree.  Over the years, the Festival of Trees has been copied throughout the United States and Canada; but, the Salt Lake City Festival of Trees is still called the “granddaddy” of them all.

On Wednesday, October 28, Springville High FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) and Maple Mountain High FBLA and DECA (A Marketing Club) members had the opportunity to tour three businesses in Utah County—Fort Knox Safes, Graphîk, and Tahitian Noni.

In October, seven DECA students attended the annual leadership conference in Park City, Utah. 

DECA is an international association of high school and college students studying marketing, management and entrepreneurship in business, finance, hospitality, and marketing sales and service.

Over 185,000 high school students in 5,000 chapters, located in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam benefit from the unparalleled network and curriculum–enhancing programs DECA provides for those with an interest in marketing, management, and entrepreneurship.

On Friday, October 23, Springville High and Maple Mountain Choirs combined together to sing in a concert, “One Voice, One Heart.”  This past summer Mrs. Leanna Crockett , SHS Choir Director, and Mr. Cory Mendenhall, MMHS Choir Director, traveled with some of their choir students to Venice, Italy.   At this inspirational venue, the idea was created to combine Maple Mapleton and Springville choirs to sing Vivaldi’s Gloria. “It was a great opportunity to bring all the kids back together to sing once more,” said Crockett.   

     On Saturday, October 24, the Maple Mountain Golden Eagles Marching Band participated in the Mount Timpanogas Marching Band Competition which took place at Mountain ViewHigh School and hosted by AmericanForkHigh School.  Maple Mountain was awarded a 3rd place finish. 

     In their last few competitions, the Golden Eagles received 5th overall, 2nd in color guard, and outstanding percussion.
