On Wednesday, the workshop will be from 2 - 4 p.m. The workshop is for girls in 8th - 12th grade that are interested in learning more about dance and also for those girls interested in trying out for the drill team.

Come see the show the drill team will be performing in Florida. Cost is $2

*Senior Pictures: We will not be offering senior pictures through our photographer this year. Bell Photography, who takes our school pictures and did our senior pictures last year, did not have enough seniors interested in getting their pictures taken last year, and therefore won't be offering that option this year. Bell Photography indicated that in visiting with parents, they found that with all of the nice cameras people have access to now, even on their cell phones, most parents did not want to pay the money for professional pictures.

*GRADUATION INFORMATION: Josten’s will be at our school on Tuesday, March 15th from lunch until

after school to deliver pre-ordered graduation announcements and to take orders. Students who still need to

order can go to http://www.jostens.com/apps/store/customer/1856004/Maple-Mountain-High-School/ or call 1-

800-JOSTENS. Students can also order the day Josten’s is at our school. Extra custom school announcements

will be available for $1.25 each.
