Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Bradfords class has been studying The Community and our Community helpers. Mrs. Carpenters class made postcards for their families and walked to the mailbox with Mrs. Bradfords class to deliver them.  What a surprise it will be when they get them in the mail!!! 

Mrs. Howcroft brought owl pellets from The Great Basin Wildlife Rescue into Miss Foster’s class. This afternoon we dissected them to find cool bones and skulls of the owl’s prey. 

These students were selected by their teachers as the students of the month for September. They are great examples of Mapleton Mountaineers who are safe, respectful and responsible. Thanks students!

We have so many creative students here at Mapleton we want to see as much creativity as possible.

We were excited to have the Scales and Tails program from the Bean Museum come and present at our Family Fun Night. The students were intrigued with not only the snakes and lizards, but also the alligators and giant tortoises. A fun night to learn many new things! Thanks PTA!

Captain Brent Darger, a search and rescue firefighter for Task Force One during 9/11 (Miss Judd's uncle), came to speak to the 3rd grade last week. He spoke about his experiences as he joined shoulder to shoulder to search for survivors, recover the deceased, and rebuild the devastation at Ground Zero. His message emphasized that although times of tragedy are heartbreaking and sorrowful, they bring the nation greater unity and strength in the end. We are grateful for the service and sacrifice Captain Darger offered in the frightening days following the attack. He is a true hero. 

Andrew Martineau, a local scout, helped replace and replenish the emergency bins with fresh water, granola bars, candy, blankets and a flashlight in each classroom in case of an emergency where students would need to stay in their classrooms for an extended period of time. He and other scouts removed the old expired products and replaced them with the new ones so we can feel safe and prepared at our school. Thank you for thinking of us for your Eagle Scout Project. 

Come join us for a fun filled night for everyone in your family. Activites and great food for everyone!!! Hope to see you all there!!  Information will be coming home with your student today!!
