MAPLE MOUNTAIN FFA Maple Mountain FFA had a successful State Convention and even came home with a State win! We had two students competing in speaking contests, representing our area. Samantha Powell competed in the Prepared Public Speaking contest. She placed 2nd in the state. Breanna Harding competed in the Extemporaneous Public Speaking contest and came home with the State title! She will be competing at National FFA Convention this October. Both girls spent countless hours preparing for their contest and we are absolutely thrilled with the results! If you have these two ladies, please congratulate them on a job well done. Also thank you to the many of you who helped them prepare for the contest. To those of you who accepted tardy notes because they were presenting speeches, to those of you who allowed them to present in your classes, and those of you who gave up prep time to sit as judges and gave them pointers, we appreciate you all! It was worth everyone’s efforts! Thanks for making Maple Mountain a great place to work, and for supporting Maple Mountain FFA!

MMHS STEM AMBASSADORS Our MMHS coding STEM ambassadors just completed their visits to Mapleton Elementary School, 5th grade classes. It was a very successful year teaching these 5th graders. Through eight visits many students completed a full section on code.org. We would like to thank: Mr. Groneman, Miss Thompson, Mrs. Bradford, and Mrs. Bonnett for letting us be a part of their classes. Next school we will be attending is Sierra Bonita.

ATTENDANCE INFORMATION

With the term just ending, please check your student’s citizenship grades in SIS to be sure there are no NC’s listed. If there are NC’s listed, be sure those absences and tardies are either excused or made up by Tuesday, March 19th. If you excuse an absence or tardy,

please be reminded that it takes 24 hours for that absence or tardy to register “excused” in SIS and the NC to be cleared. If you have any questions please contact our attendance office. Thank you!
