Mrs. Elliott's Message Mrs. Elliott's Message

Hello Maple Families,


The past couple of weeks have been busy but very exciting! Next week is our last week before Winter Break and our Student Council is hosting a Spirit Week to celebrate. Please see the graphic below for the schedule.


Our students had the opportunity to participate in the N.O. Student Council Summit that focused on building leadership skills within our branches of student council. It was led by High School students, with the help of Mr. Sextella. Thank you to our advisors, Mrs. Raed and Mrs. Fielder for organizing this for our Maple 3rd graders. Please check out some of the photos from this event below!


Upcoming Dates

  • 12/19 ~ End of Q2 grading period
  • 12/20 ~ No School Winter Break Begins (Teacher Work Day)
  • 1/6 ~ School Resumes
  • 1/10 ~ Report Cards released into Powerschool
  • 1/15 ~ Parent Teacher Conferences 4:00 - 7:30pm
  • 1/20 ~ MLK Day No School
  • 1/23 ~ Parent Teacher Conferences 4:00 - 7:30pm


Congratulations to our 2nd graders who put on quite the holiday show this past week! They showcased their musical talents, both by singing and playing various musical instruments. Thank you to Mrs. Stilla for once again putting together one "rockin" show!


I hope that all of our Maple Family finds the time to rest, relax and rejuvenate over Winter Break. Beyond spending time with family and friends, I hope to cozy up with a great book and I hope you all do too!


Wishing everyone a healthy and happy new year,

Mrs. Elliott
