The "Outstanding Service Award" goes to our Librarian, Laurie Mittanck.

Laurie has been the librarian here at Mapleton Elementary School for the past 7 years.  She joined our staff and has given her time and effort faithfully. Laurie is the librarian of not one but two libraries She has added her special touch to every wall and bookcase in our school.

   She has involved student helpers, arrives early and stays late to help students.  Laurie takes requests for books from parents, teachers as well as students. Many parents will tell you how she has taken a special interest in helping their student to find appropriate and challenging materials for reading.

    Laurie is in charge of our book fares, purchasing special books and materials, taking teacher's wish lists  for parents to give  a book to their child's teacher as well as giving teachers free books from her funds.

     Mrs. Mittanck can be seen sharing books with students each day through hands on experiences such as popping pop corn, acting out the parts or going outside to do an activity which brings books to life for children.

 Laurie gives her heart and soul to her job and we want her to know that she is appreciated and loved by all those she has willingly served!  We are grateful to her and want to  honor  her with  this outstanding service award.

It is always great to see our 5th Grade students in the Wax Museum. Mapleton Staff and students were treated to many different people from history.  Students choose someone they are interested in and then study about their life, write a short sketch which they memorize to tell others about their character. Thanks to all the teachers and students for their effort and fine performance.
Pictured here are many of our 5th grade students, including a picture #1 of Jacie Peterson and her twins sisters Sienna and Oaklie who are students in 1st grade.

Kindergarten students paraded the halls of Mapleton Elementary while all other students lined up to see students in their very clever forms of transportation which included cars, trucks, planes and other vehicles.  Students were told about their country by great volunteers and enjoyed activities throughout the day. Pictured here are the parading students and volunteers telling them about America.

Have you ever wondered what your teachers do after a hard day at school?  Why they work on their team building skills!
How do they do that?  Play dodge ball of course . . . choose up teams, set up the course, blow the whistle!  And it wouldn't be any fun without an audience, cheering squad and some treats to top it off!  And yes, a wonderful time was had by all. So wonderful in fact it will be repeated once again this week!  Being a teacher can be fun too!  How do you unwind at your school?

100 mile photo.JPG

Mapleton Elementary School has challenged students to use their recess time for fitness. Students have had a goal to walk/run 100 miles here at school. A track has been set up to measure the distance students achieve. These students have been posted on the 100 Miler wall and recognized for their accomplishment during announcements. We would like to celebrate their success by showing you who they are in this photo.  Note their are two students who have achieved 200 miles already!

 Great job everyone. Keep up the good work!
