Last week February 24th and 25th our MMHS DECA club competed at the DECA State Convention. Each student chose a topic and with this topic they are given a role play where they are tasked with resolving a real world issue. They prep for 10 minutes, and then present their solution to a judge (boss). Judges are business owners in each field.
On February 21st the MMHS DECA club competed at our annual regional competition. The competition was held at BYU. Those who attended the competition were Madisen Millard, Keslee Van Orman, and Austin Willson.

A few of our Maple Mountain DECA/FBLA members were able to participate in the Warm the Soles of Kids program and wrap shoes for some of our MMHS students in need. These shoes were donated and delivered to our school by Nebo Credit Union. We’re grateful to them for their generosity and glad we could continue our tradition of helping to wrap these shoes for our students!
