Tomorrow, Joppa Maple Grove will host our Veterans Day Program, and veterans and their families are warmly invited to attend!
Our staff and students want to express our heartfelt appreciation for the courage, sacrifice, and dedicated service of the men and women who have served our country. This will be a special time to remember those who have passed, honor those still with us, and reflect on the tremendous sacrifices made to protect our freedom.
We will never forget you or the precious gift of freedom you have given to our families, our community, and our nation.
We have a special gift for each veteran in attendance! The poppy was one of the first flowers to grow on the battlefields of World War I and has become a beautiful symbol of remembrance and sacrifice. In honor of this tradition, our art students have lovingly hand-painted poppies to give to our veterans as a small token of our gratitude and appreciation.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 9:00 AM as we come together to remember, honor, and thank those who have served.
Thank you, Veterans, for your service, your sacrifice, and the freedoms you have helped preserve. We are forever grateful!

Joppa Maple Grove Art & Drama Field Trip! (part 2)
Our Art & Drama students enjoyed lunch in the Vienna City Park before heading to Shawnee College to see the wonderful play Frozen!
We were blessed with front-row seats and an unforgettable experience! After the performance, our students received a private backstage tour, explored the props, stepped onto the stage, and even had the opportunity to meet the cast!
What an incredible opportunity to experience the magic of theater up close! These special moments made our field trip even more memorable.
Thank you to Shawnee College and the cast of Frozen for making this such a wonderful experience for our students!

Art & Drama Field Trip!
This week, our Art & Drama students enjoyed a very informative and educational field trip!
Our first stop was The Gallery off the Square in Vienna, where students toured the gallery and visited the artist’s studio. They experienced firsthand where casting, bronzing, painting, firing clay, and mixed media come together to create beautiful works of art.
Students also had the opportunity to meet the artist, learn about his artistic journey, and hear the stories and inspiration behind his creations. What a wonderful opportunity to experience the creative process beyond the classroom!
After our gallery visit, we enjoyed lunch in the park before heading to Shawnee College to watch a play.
This was a memorable day filled with creativity, learning, inspiration, and fun! These are experiences our students will remember for years to come!

Pre-k had a fun surprise when they went to the playground for recess! The trees had lost their leaves! We enjoyed playing with the leaves and learning why they had fallen off the trees and why they were different colors! #elevate38

Our Pre-K students explored the world of things that “glow in the dark” this week! They discovered that when you use highlighters under a black light, their artwork comes to life and actually glows! Other elementary students got creative using neon paint and bubbles to create their own unique art projects.
The students’ picture exhibit, featuring all of their colorful and creative artwork, was on display in the art room during Thursday night’s Fall Festival. It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase their creativity, learning, and a little bit of science!
📢 OPEN GYM UPDATE! 🏀
