Today, we welcomed back our Maple Lions in grades 1-5! The students were thrilled to reconnect with their new teachers and friends. They participated in Cub Camp lessons to learn how to be the best Maple Lions they can be.








We loved seeing all our Maple families at tonight’s Open House! We can’t wait to welcome our Maple Lions next week for the official start of the school year!










Thank you so much to Ms. Jakisha Downing and the Black Nurses Association of MD Eastern Shore for their generous donation of backpacks and school supplies! Our Maple Lions will make great use of them this school year!

A big thank you to artist Miriam for the stunning mural she created for us at Maple! We wanted a piece that reflects the diversity we cherish throughout our building, and she delivered beautifully. We’re thrilled and can’t wait for our students and families to experience it in person!

If you see Mrs. Meekins, our school social worker, or Mrs. Higgins, our community liaison, make sure to give them a wave! They’re popping by to say hi to some of our Maple Lions! 💚🦁
