Submitted by bart.thompson on

The Maple Mountain High School marching band took second place in its division, making them the region champs! DFJHS has these five awesome students in MMHS' band!

They have gone from DFJHS to MMHS after school three days a week for 3-hour practices and then competed most Saturdays. It's a lot of work! Way to Go!

Our 7th Graders Get HANDS ON in Learning about Organs!

Submitted by bart.thompson on

7th Grade science had the opportunity to interact with REAL ORGANS! The organs presented were: a heart, a pair of lungs, a trachea and a liver with a gallbladder. Pig organs are very similar to human organs. With organ shortages being the cause of 22 deaths everyday in the United States, this begs the question, "Would a xenograft (pig heart) be an option for YOU if you needed a heart transplant?" Students were excited, enthralled, troubled, amazed and thought their teachers were insane when they inflated the lungs to full size! In the end, we did not lose a single 7th grader!
