The student "personal-item-pick-up day" was a success and such a treat to see all of the students who were able to come. We loved the signs and posters...what a nice way to say thank you! If you missed coming on Friday, personal bagged items will be in the office and you can drop by any day the rest of the week from 8:30 - 3:30 to get them. 

This Friday, May 15th is our drive-through personal item pick-up day. Students can come in the car with a parent to the west parking lot and teachers will be handing them their bags of items. The time slots are 9:00 - 12:00 Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, Miss Russell's and Miss Rowley's class (9-10: A-J, 10-11: K-Q, 11-12: R-Z) and upper grades for 3rd - 6th grades are 1:00 - 4:00 (1-2: A-J, 2-3: K-Q, 3- 4: R-Z).  Everyone must stay inside the car during the drive-through.

Congratulations to Emma Beach, a fourth grader at Mapleton Elementary, who recently won the Sweepstakes award for the Utah Arbor Day Tree Poster Contest. The theme was "Trees are Terrific No Matter Where You Live." Emma's beautiful artwork and sweepstakes award meant that she got to choose a tree to be planted at Mapleton Elementary. She chose an Autumn Blaze Maple and you can see it in the front of the school. She and her family were even able to help plant the tree. Way to go Emma!

We are excited to show our appreciation to Mapleton's amazing teachers this week! Here are some ways each child/family can participate:

May 5 TUESDAY TUNES:  Share a fun song with your teacher!  This could be a quick recording of a student playing an instrument, singing a song, or sharing a fun music video from professionals. Start with the message “TUESDAY TUNES--You make my heart sing!” Share your music through SeeSaw, Google Classrooms, Flipgrid, or email--whatever method your teacher has used to connect with you. 

Today we asked students to show us their pets...real or stuffed. There were so many great photos but here are just a few. Thanks students for sharing your pets with us!

Today is "Share what you are reading" day and here are some of Mrs. Carpenter's awesome Kindergarten students sharing what they are reading. What books are you reading today?

Next week, Monday, April 27 - May 1st is our "at-home" spirit week! We can still be unified...even while apart. Monday is Pajama Day, Tuesday is "What are you reading?" Day, Wednesday is Pet Day, Thursday is Mismatched Day and Friday is School Spirit Day! Click on the PDF for more explanations. Have fun participating and share your pics with your teachers!

We are so grateful for Mrs. Austin and Mrs. Knight and all they do for Mapleton Elementary students, parents and staff! Thanks for making our office and school a bright and happy place to enter! 

Thanks to our third graders and Thanksgiving Point, we have beautiful tulip blossoms in front of the school and more will be blooming soon. We love seeing the pop of color and sign of spring and renewal!
