Last week we celebrated our December Students of the Month. It is great to recognize their hard work and efforts in representing a Marvelous Mapleton Mountaineer! 

Just before our Christmas break, 6th graders from Mapleton and HobbleCreek Elementary performed several numbers that they have learned so far this year.  It is amazing how much the students have learned in just four months and we greatly appreciate Jessica Knight, the orchestra director. 

Third grade read “ Aero and Officer Mike” then we got a real visit from the K-9 police officer.

Miss Belknap is one of our amazing 4th Grade Teachers. We love having her here, as do her students.  Her favorite children's book is Night House Bright House by Monica Welington. Her favorite vacation is going to Italy. Her dream vacation is to go to Australia. Her hobbies are reading, watching movies, and loves to go hiking. She has 4 brothers, 1 sister and they all live in a different country. She loves working at Mapleton Elementary because everyone is so kind, respectful and friendly. 

We hope you all have a safe and fantastic Holiday break. We will see you all Next Year!! 

School will be out at 12:00 on Friday. It will resume on Jan. 2, 2019

Miss Foster’s class built dog houses with the help of BYU construction management students. Colton Williams taught the class about the structure of building houses.We learned how to build houses out of popsicle sticks. We also learned the names for things for the house like jousts, headers and sub floors. 
Today our class made dog houses out of wood in pieces that were already made. We drilled the pieces together and attached shingles to the roof. There were some harder parts to drill or staple, but it was really fun. 

Mrs. Emery is a kind and enthusiastic teacher here at Mapleton Elementary. Her favorite kids book is Harry Potter and her favorite vacation is Lake Powell. Her dream vacation is New Zealand. Even though she's never been there.  

CONGRATULATIONS !!  To Sam McHargue for being nominated as the Rockstar Reader from Road to Success. He will be on Fox 13 News, Saturday morning to help deliver the weather report.  He is an incredible student and has worked hard.  We look foward to seeing you on the news!
