Maple families, you are invited to our final House Celebration on Thursday, May 29th at 1:15pm. Families may arrive at 1:00 to set up chairs in the family section. Please park in the lot near the soccer field and walk behind the outdoor classroom. Please bring your own chair and wear your student’s HOUSE color!
For student safety, students will not be permitted to leave the celebration with parents. We will use normal dismissal procedures.
Our House Heroes were all smiles today as they headed to Applebee’s for a special reward lunch!
The weather changed our original plans for a park outing, but that didn’t stop the fun. We returned to school and ended the day with some exciting rounds of Bingo!
Our Maple Lions showed up ready for the future at today’s Career Fair!
Students came dressed as their future professions, and we’re so grateful to the community members and local businesses who joined us to share their careers and inspire our students. Thank you for helping make this day meaningful and memorable!
Reminder- Tomorrow will be our Activity Day and Color Run! Students can wear their tie-dye shirts, which will be given to them when they arrive in the morning. If your child did not bring in or purchase a shirt to tie-dye, they can wear a plain white shirt. Students should wear comfortable shorts or pants and footwear. Most of our day will be spent outdoors. Please apply sunscreen and bug spray before your child leaves for school in the morning. Although we did not invite families to this event, please stay tuned for more information on our final House Celebration.

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.
