The sun came out to celebrate Arbor Day in Mapleton City.  The Mapleton Elementary 3rd grade drew posters with the theme Trees Are Terrific for our health and happiness.  The school winner is Abrielle Ball in Mrs. Naylor's class. Orpha Dee Johnson, the oldest continuous resident of Mapleton, Hal Black , and Mr. Haines a Native American Flute maker told the students the terrific qualities of trees.  The students helped plant a beauiful flowering cherry tree.  The tree committee presented Abrielle, Mrs. Day and Mrs. Johnson a tree necklace.

We will be spotlighting a Student of the Week from each classroom. These students receive a certificate and prize from Mrs. Peery with the chance to be drawn out at the end of each month for a special activity with the Principal. The focus for the month of April is "Creativity". The students are selected by their teachers as they see their students showing creativity.  Here are the Students of the Week for April 29.
