The 6th grade class is doing a STEM activity. They are building structures using Keva planks. Thank you, TRIO (James Walton) for letting us participate in this activity!
The 6th grade won the spirit contest at the pep rally. The seniors and Ms. Schloss treated them to donuts this morning. The class enjoyed the seniors having breakfast with them!
Hello Families,
I wanted to clarify a few things for today's Christmas Concert.
1. The concert is in the gym at JHS. (The Maple Grove School building is not open.)
2. PLEASE remain seated until all classes have been dismissed to their classrooms. I will let you know when you can go get them from their classes.
3. Students will be heading back to classrooms after the program. You will be able to sign them out from their classrooms. (Please do not take them from the gym.)
4. Santa will be in the gym lobby after the program if you would like to take your child(ren) to see him. (You will get your child from the classroom for this.)
We look forward to seeing you here.
Thank you,
Ms. Wear

Free Laundry Event!
I know we have been asking for a lot lately, but this project was envisioned by one of our seniors. Please consider helping him collect stuffed toys to give to children in tough situations that are beyond their control. It is a great way to clean out some room for new toys this season.
We had a wonderful Veteran's Day Ceremony this morning. Xander, Jaelyn, and Angel all gave beautiful speeches and the second grade class recited a Veteran's Day poem. The Honor Guard from the American Legion came to retire the flag and brought us a new one. After that, Taps was played. We then invited the Veterans and their relatives at Joppa-Maple Grove to join us for a delicious breakfast donated by the staff of Joppa-Maple Grove. We will be sharing more pictures soon.
