Successful Intersession

The Jr High had an amazing Intersession week! Among some of the activities, students created ABC books, solved a kidnapping mystery, wrote poetry, visited the weber county library, explored the history of downtown Ogden, and camped in at the school.

We could not have done any of this without the support of our parents! Thank you to all who donated their time, food, and hard work. Without our parents we would not have been able to pull off such a feat. You truly are the backbone of our community!

 

What a fun tent city we created in the gym!

 

*We have lost and found tables in the Commons of the Jr High. All items left from Intersession have been placed there. Any items not picked up by the end of the week will be donated.

National Geographic Science Fair Screening

Thank you Ms. Michelle for applying to National Geographic for the honor of holding a national screening of the documentary Science Fair about the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair! Very few schools were selected nationally. Ms. Michelle and National Geographic decided to dedicate the screening to Troy and Molly.

 

Monday December 10th MMA Jr High and 6th grade students held the screening! What an amazing film and inspiration for our students to participate in science fair and innovations in science.
