Congratulations to 3rd grader Julius Terwilliger for being the first 'Stay in the Game' winner! Julius had perfect attendance the week of September 9th and won tickets to the Brown's home opener! Despite the loss, the smile on his face shows what a great time he had!!!

Yesterday, two lucky students at Maple were selected to represent our school at the Groundbreaking Ceremony. First grader, Ray Pop and second grader, Imani Humpage joined me and several staff members to celebrate the new PK-5 building! Our superintendent and school board president gave remarks that focused on moving towards our future. The event showcased the excitement on the project and we can't wait until it's complete!!

As we continue to work on setting our students up for success, please check out some of the learning that has been taking place over the past couple of weeks here at Maple.

Please consider joining us this Thursday for National Father's (or Special Person) Walk to School Day!! Since Maple is surroundi bed so many side-streets, park along one and walk your child to school. We will have staff members passing out stickers to those that participate and taking photos, both in the front and back of the school.

Our school day begins at 8:10, however students may begin entering at 7:55am. Once you arrive at school and are given your sticker for participating, your child may enter the building just like a typical day. Thank you for those that are able to participate!!!
