So interesting to learn about project breakdown planning and the processes Owen Memmott is going through to fix problems at his internship with US Synthetic. Those Physics and Computer Programming classes are coming in handy!
After studying branding, Mrs. Ford’s Digital Marketing students were able to create their own personal brands on t-shirts! Their brands reflected their own personal brand statements such as “Strive”, “Stand Tall”, and “Stop Waiting for the Weekend”. We loved getting to know our classmates through their personal brand.
"The Fashion Design and Sewing 3 students got to spend time in the sewing lab creating their own tote bags this week! They learned how to use sewing techniques to make their designs come to life!"

Marketing is about putting the right product, at the right price, in the right place, at the right time. Mrs. Ford's Digital Marketing class practiced the 4 P's of Marketing by participating in a relay race where they created a strategy to deliver their ping pong balls, marbles, and bouncy balls (Products) to a shopping bag (Place) through cardboard tubes (Promotion) to earn sales (Price).
Mrs. Brocious and Mr. Hallam's students filled out a "Get To Know You" questionnaire and were taught about opportunities in CTE while they enjoyed a hot dog on the first day of school. They also got to wear new shades because their futures look so bright! Students were a part of Exploring Agriculture, Agriculture Science 1, and Biology courses at Spanish Fork Jr. High

For the first time, Mapleton Jr High had an active Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Chapter, thanks to Bonny Groneman, the Family Consumer Science teacher/FCCLA Adviser who started running a competitive FCCLA program at Mapleton Jr High. Although over the years they have done multiple service projects for their community and school, the opportunity for these students to compete and improve themselves individually and as a leader at regional, state, and national levels was not a reality until 2023.
Our MMHS FCCLA group competed at Nationals in Denver this summer.
We are proud of our three students who competed and earned national medals:
Elaine Bleazard, graduating Senior, and Addie Gesullo, Sophomore, both received Gold medals in their Fashion Construction competitions, and Paige Johnson, Sophomore received a Bronze for her presentation in Focus on Children.
This past June, Maple Mountain SkillsUSA students who had placed on the state level traveled to Atlanta Georgia to compete at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference. This was MMHS's biggest group to go to Nationals to date and it was a huge success. MMHS had 5 National medalists competitors and accounted for almost 14% of the medals earned by Utah. Graduated Senior Ben Cornaby won 1st place in welding fabrication of almost 50 competitors. He's now going to put himself in competition for the single spot for world skills.
Three of our FBLA students competed at the national level last week in Atlanta, Georgia.
Keslee Van Orman and Parker Thalman competed in Job Interview and Introduction to Information Technology. Although they did not make the top 10, we are extremely proud of their hard work and dedication.
Sadie Wheeler took 5th place overall in Introduction to Public Speaking! Her final speech was done in front of four judges and a live audience of advisers and FBLA contestants, no pressure! It was very exciting to see her on stage being recognized for her efforts!
