Survey: Your Utah Your Future
Our school and our state need your support and your voice in the Your Utah Your Future campaign. Along with concerned leaders and citizens from around Utah, we are asking you to please take a moment to learn about the issues we face as our state grows and share your voice on those issues by taking the Your Utah Your Future survey at envisionutah.org. By adding your voice, you will be able to shape the future of Utah’s education, making it a better place for your children and their children to go to school. Not only will you be helping our state, but our school will also receive $1 for every adult or high school student who takes the survey. There will be an option at the end of the survey to list your school, so please remember to enter our school name when you take the survey. The expected completion time for this survey is from 5 to 20 minutes, depending on how deeply you want to dive into any of the topics.

Governor Herbert initiated Your Utah Your Future as a statewide effort to build a vision for what Utah will be like in the year 2050—when our population will be nearly double what it is now. Envision Utah, a local not-for-profit organization, is working with the governor to lead this effort and has created a survey about the choices Utahns face on a variety of issues including education, jobs, air quality, water resources, transportation, and more. The results will be used to create a vision for the whole state that will become a guide to policy-makers, local governments, businesses, developers, educators, and all of us as we prepare for the future.


HS Drama Production: "The Drowsy Chaperone"
Maeser's high school drama department invites you to come see "The Drowsy Chaperone", a fun Tony Award-winning musical comedy set in the 1920s. Presented as a musical within a show, the play features a musical theater enthusiast who, from the comfort of his favorite chair, invites the audience to listen to a recording of his favorite musical called "The Drowsy Chaperone". When he puts the record into the player, the musical comes to life inside his apartment. With catchy tunes, glamorous costumes, hilarious spit-takes and dancing monkeys, this show will leave you anything but drowsy!

Upcoming Volunteer Needs
There are lots of upcoming volunteer opportunities. Please visit SignUp Genius to sign up. Current volunteer needs include providing lunches and other items during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4-8.

Help Our Debaters Get to Nationals
Please help our Maeser Prep Debate and Speech team get to Nationals to represent the state of Utah in Florida! Both of our usual sponsors were unable to help us this year, so we are desperate for help. These kids are incredibly competitive and have worked hard all year to prepare for this moment to have the chance to compete for the national title. Please help their dreams come true by donating any sum that you can afford. We truly appreciate your generosity and support of our team!

This year our team is more skilled than ever. Gabby Garner and Sean Robinson are competing in NY for International Public Policy Forum after making the elite eight teams in the world. This Public Forum Team has over seven state champion titles, over 40 trophies, and years of hard work. Please donate and help our seniors attend nationals! http://www.gofundme.com/maeserdebate
