Mapleton Junior High hosted our first cross-country meet of the season today.  The schools that participated were Mt. Nebo Jr. High, Spanish Fork Jr. High and Diamond Fork Jr. High.  

One of our own students, Brooke Lynn Galbraith won with a time of 10:02!  Way to go Brooke Lynn, keep up the hard work of running. So proud of all the runners and their efforts!  With the weather cooperating, it was a great day for a race.

This September is Attendance Awareness Month, but the time to end chronic attendance is now! http://bit.ly/1oqfID7 #SchoolEveryDay

The assembly today was really fun. Most of it was based on High School Musical, but the student government put in some of their own words. My favorite part of the assembly was the basketball song: I love how they did the moves and worked with the basketballs. They didn’t just dribble and throw the basketballs in the air. A part in the dance was a student singing, and, man, can he hit the high notes.

MJHS students recently completed class projects for the 3-D Design class. The projects were designed and constructed by the students, using the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude as their inspiration.

Over one-hundred students from all of Nebo School District’s junior high schools participate in the two-day Nebo Shakespeare Academy. This fun-filled summer event features ice-breaker games, theatre motion, voice technique, acting competitions, food, and FUN!
