Ms. Drake’s second graders worked hard to write detailed stories that included animals as characters, carefully editing and revising until they were ready to publish. They proudly presented their final pieces, and we’re so proud of their creativity, effort, and hard work!
We truly have the best teachers and staff at Maple, and we loved showing our appreciation for them this week! Our Wicked theme made the week extra fun with sweet treats, a wicked lunch, a banana split bar, a Popular makeover station, a popcorn bar, games, prizes, and even a chance to meet the Wizard!
Staff also enjoyed delicious ice cream from an ice cream truck, generously provided by 3C Church—thank you for the sweet treat!
A huge thank you to Dr. Boyd and Dr. Collins—meeting the Wizard might have been the highlight of the week! We couldn’t have asked for better wizards.
Our teachers and staff work hard every single day to help our students succeed. They are Wicked Oz-some!

We kicked off Teacher Appreciation Week with a magical Emerald City breakfast to celebrate our incredible team. Students joined in the fun with some Oz-inspired photo ops, and the smiles were contagious!

We’re so grateful for our amazing staff—they truly deserve to be celebrated and spoiled this week!

More pictures from our MCAP Pep Rally!
State Testing kicks off next week, and our Maple Lions are ready!
Today, our 3rd–5th graders gathered in the gym during specials for a motivating “Test Talk” with Mrs. Pritchett, our Reading Coach, and Ms. Cook, our Assistant Principal. They highlighted the importance of getting a good night’s sleep, arriving to school on time, and giving it their all! They were even shown some cool prizes they could win for showing up everyday, on time, and doing their best!
Students teamed up with their House groups for a fun round of MCAP: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The winning Houses from each grade level then faced off in a Hoop Shoot Out against the CSD Boys Basketball Team - and believe it or not, our Maple Lions beat the Maryland 1A State Champions!
The energy was electric thanks to the CSD Cheerleaders, who kicked off our MCAP Pep Rally, and our very own Maple Lion Cheerleaders, who closed it out with some spirited cheers to get everyone pumped up.
Adding to the excitement, our younger grade levels created motivational posters for our test-takers. Each class was able to take one with them after the rally — a sweet reminder that all of Maple is cheering them on!
We might be biased, but we truly believe we have the smartest, most hardworking students around. We’re confident they’ll give their best and ROCK the test next week!
