Maple Mountain FFA gave a Gift of Love to the 2012 Festival of Trees. The Festival of Trees is an event where business, individuals, and groups donate trees, wreaths, quilts, and other items. The items are then auctioned off to the highest bidder. One-hundred percent of funds raised at the Festival of Trees benefits children cared for at Primary Children’s Medical Center.
Eight students from Maple Mountain FFA recently attend the Utah Leadership Conference. They had the opportunity to travel to Richfield, Utah where the state had brought in presenters from throughout the state and nation. They attend workshops and learned how to be a better person and leader. Sean CotaMalinda Olsen, RJ Giles, McKay Hales, Wyatt Haycock, Megan Lazenby, Decker Nielson, and Courtnie Perkins attend the workshop. They are exited to bring the information back to the members and help build the chapter.
MMHS is proud to announce the October students of the month!
In five years, sophomore Brooke Davis sees herself as a professional singer. Her favorite subject in school is math because she likes learning new things.
Her favorite quote is, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” She likes this quote because she likes to treat people the right way. A few things that makes Brooke different than everyone else is her singing, the way she dresses, and the way she learns.
