Sophomores: Felicity Child & Austin Gordon Juniors: Amanda Randquist & Corbin Nelson Seniors: Kiera Allen & Troy Goodin *THREE MMHS ELLEVÉS NAMED TO 5A ALL-STATE DRILL TEAM: Three members of the Maple Mountain High School Drill Team were named to the 5A All-State Drill Team.

Annie was a Top Corp finalist at Basic Dance Training Camp this past summer. Annie enjoys dancing, playing with her puppies, shopping, hanging out with friends, and listening to music. The auditions were held on Wednesday, November 8 at Bountiful High School. Each 5A school sent three girls to represent their school at the auditions. There were 42 girls who auditioned. A cut was made after the girls showed their technique in some across the floor combinations in front of a panel of three judges who narrowed it down to 30 girls. Those girls were taught a short dance and then auditioned it for the judges, who decided which girls made the team. There were 16 girls who made the final cut. The 5A All-State Team will be recognized at the State Drill Team Competition that will be held at UVU in February. Congratulations to these girls for their accomplishments!

There is also a way to forgotten passwords. *Attendance Information: Parents -- If your student checks out early or comes in after school has begun, please remind them to stop by the front office to sign in or sign out. This helps us in tracking the classes they have missed. Please understand that signing in or out does not automatically excuse a student s absence! A parent or guardian still needs to contact the school to excuse their student. As always, please contact Mrs. Davis in our attendance office if you have questions or concerns. MMHS School Musical The MMHS Fine Arts Department is gearing up for the performances of the Maple Mountain High School fall musical, Seussical. The show performs on November 10, 11, and 13 at 7 PM, with a 2 PM matinee on Saturday, November 11 in the MMHS auditorium. Seussical is a high energy show built around several familiar Dr. Seuss stories. This musical tells the story of a young boy who doesn t fit in so he uses his imagination to escape to places where he feels safe and normal. Watch as the mysterious Cat in the Hat leads JoJo through stories of elephants and clovers, one-feather-tailed birds, family, loss, hope, and finding your place in the world. Tickets are $6 for students and $8 for adults and are available at the door.

3 The cast will also be holding a special storytime before the 2 PM performance on Saturday, November 11. We are calling it Seussapalooza and anyone can come to hear the cast read Dr. Seuss stories, play games, and learn a section of choreography. This event is free of charge, and those who learn the choreography will be invited on stage after the matinee performance to dance on the stage with the cast. *FCCLA Members! Come bowling with us and Utah County FCCLA at our annual Region 4 activity! There was a mix up in the flier that went out! The time for this event is from 6-8 PM, NOT 4-6. Meet at BYU Bowling Alley.
