Students from Mapleton and Hobble Creek Elementary showed their musical skills on their string instruments last night for their winter concert. These students have been practicing several mornings a week before school and have already learned so much. There were many fun pieces played, including some fiddle work and several solos. 

Our theme this year is "Choose to make a Difference," and this term we are focusing on "Gratitude." Each week during this month our teachers have picked out a student in their class that they see showing gratitude here at school.  Make sure to look at all of the pictures for the month of November, showing all of our students of the week showing gratitude.
