On Thursday March 27 half of the seventh grade students at MJHS loaded bussed and header to “This is the Place State Park” in Salt Lake City.  Students went through six learning station that gave them a hands on learning experience about many things they have learned in the classroom.  Students were able to pull handcarts, visit a school house from pioneer times, and see working blacksmiths shop.  The weather was a little frightful with rain and snow, some sun and was true to form with the type of weather pioneers had to endure.  Overall, it was a great day filled with learning and fun!

The 3-D Design art class at Mapleton Jr. High recently explored "installation" art.  Installation is a contemporary 3-dimensional art form that typically focuses on transforming the space of a specific site.  Students studied examples of professional installation examples.  Then as groups, they conceptualized, constructed, and displayed their own installations in the school halls for all the student body and faculty to contemplate and enjoy.  Enjoy the slide show.
