Mrs. Pinder never hesitates to help anyone in need—whether it's a student, colleague, or family. Maple would not be the same without Mrs. Pinder, and we are so grateful for everything she does to help our school succeed.

Check out these pictures from our final House Celebration yesterday! A huge shout-out to all of the families who joined us—it was wonderful celebrating together and making lasting memories. We are incredibly proud of our 4th graders who were selected as House Leaders for next year as they enter 5th grade. We know they will do an amazing job leading their houses and serving as role models for our Maple Lions. And once again, congratulations to Pegasus House for earning the title of our 2025–2026 House Champions! Your hard work, teamwork, and house spirit throughout the year paid off. 💛

Mr. Daniels has done it again! He planned and executed another amazing Activity Day and Color Run! The opening ceremony kicked off with our student House Leaders mummifying their staff House Leaders, followed by the annual staff egg toss where Mrs. Thompson and Ms. Malbouf were crowned this year’s champions! Students had an incredible time participating in relay races, tug-of-war, and running through Egypt Road Park covered in bright, colorful powder. A huge thank you to Cambridge Rescue Fire Company for helping make the Color Run a success by spraying our students with water before the run! The day wrapped up with our annual Staff vs. 5th Grade kickball game — and once again, the staff took home the win! Thank you, Mr. Daniels, for creating another fun-filled day full of laughter, excitement, and lasting memories for our Maple Lions!
