Cross Country took 15 runners to California for the Footlocker West Regional races in December this year. Each race had hundreds of runners from all over the Western USA.

All of the runners ran well, representing Payson High with pride!

• Halle Nielson took 35 in the 9th grade girls race.
• Reagan McKenna finished in 29th in the Senior girls race.
• Ethan Kimmel finished in 20th place in the Senior Boys race.
• Joaquin Cardenas finished just outside of the medals in the Sophomore Boys race.

Congrats team!

Congrats to our cheer team! On Saturday, December 2, they took FIRST PLACE at the USA Regionals.

Coach Marilyn Morgan said, "We are so excited because I took a risk and entered us in the most advanced division, so winning first feels really good going into our UHSAA Region and State and then USA nationals!"

We're proud of  you, Lions!

The new Payson Page Turners Bookstagram account is live!

On this account, there is a Google Forms link for students to submit reviews on the books they are reading for the opportunity to be featured on the account. The purpose of this is to have the Reading Challenge featured more consistently and effectively throughout the school community and to also have our school's readers join the community of book reviewers and bloggers on social media. (Teachers can submit as well.)
