January 2015

Today all of our music students were able to attend a presentation by the Nebo Youth Philharmonic Orchestra. This group has members from all of the High Schools and some 9th grade students in the Junior Highs. We have two students participating: Nicole Litster and Tucker Bateman. They rehearse together every Monday for 2 hours and perform in 4 concerts each year. They will also perform at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City in March. They put on a great performance and we appreciate them visiting us at Mt. Nebo!

Booth Brothers delivered a gift to the orchestra and band programs at Nt. Nebo JHS. They contributed a treat bucket to the teacher and a gift certificate to use for equipment to each of the programs. Pictured is one of the band and orchestra classes that were presented the gifts.

Today we had the Sterling Scholars students from Lone Peak High School come and present to our 9th graders. These students explained what the Sterling Scholar program is, and more importantly, their efforts to obtain this recognition. They stressed the importance of starting to prepare for college in the 9th grade, not giving up, and trying your best. Thanks to Mr. Wright for inviting Lone Peak and providing this great presentation for our students!
