What amazing weather we have been having! It is perfect weather for our Maple trees to run. The kids love this long standing tradition that teaches encompasses a hard work ethic, math, literacy, team work.

Please continue to have your child read nightly to continue their monthly reading log goal! Our school goal is to have 100% attendance at our next reading incentive. Students who meet their reading goal each month and miss no more than 1 month get to be put in a drawing for a bike and sweatshirts from our Hamburg and Corning Fire Department. Keep reading!

I hope to see everyone at our Family Night/Open House on Thursday this week and dinner will be served!

THANK YOU to families for your attending conferences! If you are still in need to meet with a teacher, please reach out to a specific teacher!

THANK YOU to the PTO and parent volunteers for the 2 amazing meals for the staff. We are blessed to have giving and thoughtful parents!

Our Open House / Family Night will be Thursday, March 14th from 4:30-6:30. We will have Olive Garden soup and breadsticks along with a campfire and art show in the gym. This is a time to ask questions and visit new classrooms and teachers.

We are looking for donations for our upcoming Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser if you have some items you would like to donate from you, someone you know, or a business you know is willing to donate please drop it off to school by March 25 and we will get it to Trina, who is organizing all the baskets. Any little bit helps! Thank you so much for your support with this!

Enrollment Application is happening now until April 30th. If you are currently NOT enrolled or know someone who is looking to come to Maple Grove please have them fill out the application at this link. This is for new families or new incoming Kindergarteners. If the child does not live in the School District of Athens they will also need to fill out the form on the DPI site that is linked in our application. If you know a family that is thinking about enrolling I am more than happy to talk with them and give them a tour of our amazing school and grounds, just have them contact me or the main office. We are looking forward to another great year in the 2024-2025 school year!

All grades are working hard on collecting sap! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped us tap trees and continue to make this process possible! They do everything from assembling the bags, choosing their trees, drilling the hole, pounding the taps in and hanging the bags. Then the hard work comes in where they have to go out and collect the sap! The weather has been fantastic for this!

Congrats to Melody for winning the "Wearable Art" contest.
