October 2012

Our students aren't the only ones who joined in the fun on Halloween!  

The 2012-2013 Mapleton Junior High Golf Team enjoyed a very successful season.

The 4-H program is new this year at Mapleton Junior High.  4-H offers many fun clubs and opportunities for our students to participate in.  These clubs are excellent  for students to learn leadership and social skills as they explore hands on with programs offered in the 4-H Afterschool program.

This semester, students have enjoyed:  Latin Culture, Sewing, Cookies, ASL, Art, Drama and Zumba.  There will be different clubs offered each semester.  If you have any ideas for clubs that you would like, please contact Hilary Jones, our 4-H Coordinator.

MHJS 7th grade students have just finished working on a difficult project. They have been writing draft after draft of Product Reviews. Each student Wrote their very own and they have been working on them for quite some time. They started out by talking about how Product Reviews are so helpful to Companies everywhere! They then learned about the different types of genres that Product Reviews have. Then they picked out their favorite product, restaurant, or business. They have written their own Product Review for whichever they chose to write about.

The Nebo school district cross- country final meet was held Wednesday Oct 10 at Mapleton Junior High. The Mustangs had a great showing in both the boys and girls meets.

The classic board game Monopoly was the talk of Mapleton Jr. recently as Miss Anderson and Mr. Hubbard used it to teach students the difference between world economic systems. Most students enjoyed playing Capitalism Monopoly because they were able to make a lot of money, own key properties like Boardwalk, and dominate the competition. The mood of students changed dramatically, however, as they played Socialism Monopoly.

On September 11 Mapleton Junior High hosted the Special Education Extravaganza. Six schools came from through the district. The students participated in many fun activities such as; face painting, hat painting, arts and crafts and many other activities. The students also competed in several sporting events which included; the softball throw, long jump, relay races and several other competitions. The participants had a great time.
