http://mmhs.nebo.edu/DriversEd. Students may begin signing up on Tuesday, March 1st at the MMHS finance

office. The fee is $100 and a student must have a learner permit before signing up. You must sign up for a

class at the MMHS finance office during regular school hours. Online payment does NOT sign you up for a

class. If you have any questions, e-mail the Driver Education Coordinator at eric.hyer@nebo.edu.

*SPRING SPORTS TRYOUTS: If you are trying out for a spring sport you must have a current physical and

a profile on registermyathlete.com. Once those two things are done you may pick up a "Cleared for Tryout"

permission slip from Margaret Raine in the counseling office. If you are unsure if your physical is current

please see our athletic trainer Krista Prusak for verification.

*MMHS Baseball Try-outs: The baseball team will be holding tryouts for their 2016 season on Monday, February 29th & Tuesday, March 1st. Times and locations will be posted on their website @ mmbaseball.com due to pending weather.

For more details talk to Coach Reese!

*MMHS Theatre Department: Students of the Maple Mountain Theatre Department are putting the finishing

touches on the MMHS Winter Play, Twelve Angry Jurors. This play is the stage version of the classic film 12

Angry Men. The story focuses on a jury room as the 12 individuals debate the guilt of a young man on trial for

the murder of his father. The deliberations reveal the biases and prejudices of the jury members who start out

wanting a quick guilty verdict. A lone juror suggests that the responsibility of those in the room is to look

beyond their first impressions to see if they can uncover the truth. As they debate, the audience is asked to

place themselves in the jurors' shoes and consider where they stand.

Acting and tech students have been working on this piece since early January. The cast includes Ben Gleason,

Hannah Wood, Ondine Morgan, Adam Gowers, Marguerite Morgan, Jaren Wood, Nicole James, Cassandra

Smith, Emma Garlitz, Corbin Radford, Shay Swenson, Jasmine Johnson, and Ryan Hawkins. The play will

perform for four nights: Thursday, March 3; Friday, March 4; Saturday, March 5; and Monday, March 7.

Performances begin at 7:00 PM, and the cost is $5 for students and $6 for adults.

Twelve Angry Jurors will be performed in an intimate space - all seating will be on the auditorium stage

surrounding a 468 square foot jury room. We want to audience to truly feel a part of the world of the play. As

such, seating is limited.

Advance Learning Center (ALC) Open House: The ALC will be holding their Open House March 1st and 2nd

from 4:00-7:00pm, at the ALC Building (570 S. Main, Springville). Students are welcome to bring their families and friends so all can see what the ALC has to offer. There will be drawings for prizes and of course treats! We had a great turnout last year, and hope to this year. Thanks for spreading the word to our Nebo students!

February 19th, or $25 if purchased after the 19th. The deadline to purchase a Senior Ad is February 26th!!!

*Mr. Maple Mountain DVD: If you'd like to relive the magic of the 2016 Mr. Maple Mountain competition

that was held on January 27th, DVD's are on sale for $5. The money goes toward the Video Production and TV

Broadcasting programs. A sign-up sheet is posted outside of Miss McMurdie's room (F101) but e-mailing her at

lindsey.mcmurdie@nebo.edu will get you on the list as well! Pay the finance office and bring your receipt to

Miss McMurdie to pick up your DVD.

*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
