Each third grade student was able to plant his or her very own tulip bulb at our new tulip test garden located in the front of our school.  We are excited to be a school participating in the Tulips Journey North Program.  We are looking forward to tracking the progress of our tulips in our role as citizen scientists and we are especially excited to see our tulips bloom in the spring!

The Mapleton Elementary Library's new episode of Get Out and Explore is now showing. We have some great adventures here in Mapleton.

Miss Foster’s 6th graders earned a class reward for awesome planning time reports. Today they read Christmas picture books to the second and third grade classes. It was a treat for all three grade levels. 

These fantastic students were selected from their classes as Students of the Month for November. We appreciate their examples of being Mighty Mountaineers who are safe, respectful and responsible. Way to go students!

Students and teachers alike were entertained today by Steve and Lisa James. Their message of being kind and having the power to make a difference came through words and music. Students were even singing along with the fun renditions of Christmas music Steve shared with us. Great way to kick off the season!

We kicked off the holiday season with an assembly and evening performance by our school choir. They sang fall and winter songs, played orff and percussion instruments and even added some character parts into their performance. It was a lovely evening. We so appreciate the talents of our students, our director, Karen Thueson, and our accompianist, Jeanette Nielson. 

Our October students of the month were honored at our assembly on November 1st .  These students all show examples of being Mighty Mountaineers and especially by being safe, respectful and responsible. Congratulations!

6th graders had an amazing day learning more about ancient Egyptian culture and architecture. First, they took part in learning how to build a sturdy, tall pyramid. Next, they learned the secrets of mummification while performing several of the steps on their stuffed animals!

What a fun day here at Mapleton! Just wanted to give you a peek at our teachers who dressed up right along with the students. Happy Halloween everyone!

Recently, Mapleton Senior Citizens made a donation to each of the three elementary schools in the Mapleton area. We were honored to receive this donation at their October luncheon at the Mapleton City Center. This donation will go towards helping individual students who are in need. We are so appreciative of their kindness and for thinking of children.
