Congratulations to our November Students of the Month!
Melissa Peterson
Melissa Peterson is the daughter of Rick and Cindy Peterson and lives in Payson. Melissa loves acting and watching movies. In school, her favorite class is American Sign Language because it's where she has the most fun.
Tomorrow (November 21st) our school is honored to host Col. Gail Halvorsen (also known as the "Candy Bomber") at our Veteran's Day Assembly at 9:00am. Veterans from the community are invited to attend. Students are encouraged to wear best dress to school.
Payson High School Key Club is in charge of this years food and clothes drive. This is for the students to bring food and clothes to donate to the homeless. In each classroom there is a box to collect all of the stuff that students bring in. The classroom that collects the most food and clothes will receive a doughnut party!
Eighteen members, three advisors and two parents attended the 92nd National FFA Convention October 29th through November 2nd in Indianapolis, Indiana. Members attended agricultural tours, educational sessions, workshops, a career show, expo, rodeo, concert, competed in a National Contest and received their American FFA Degree.
On November 6, Payson High School’s student council put on an assembly to kick off the annual ‘Penny Wars’. Written to resemble the famous “Twas the Night Before Christmas” poem, the assembly held everyone’s attention as the school laughed while raising money for families in our community. The school was blessed with performances from the Dance Co. and Cheerleaders, the chaos of the Mansetters, and the talent of our student council. During the relay, the crowd cheered for their class, or just cheered for the scandalous kisses under the mistletoe.
The week of October 21st was very exciting for the students of Payson High. All week, different votes were going on as eleven boys fought for the title of Mr. Payson. The week started with a vote for the best poster, followed by best cake, and finally best legs. On Thursday, each contestant gave a short speech at the Red Ribbon assembly. Friday, however, was the day everyone was waiting for- The Mr. Payson Pageant.
This weekend our PHSPB attended the Moab Scottish Festival. Students were able to learn how a festival works. They learned about the different bands, vendors, and other events that happen at a Festival. Some of these students got their pipes and drums just barely at the beginning of the school year. They did amazing playing in massed bands with the other adult bands! Great job PHSPB. Go Lions!
