We will be spotlighting a Student of the Week from each classroom. These students receive a certificate and prize from Mrs. Peery with the chance to be drawn out at the end of each month for a special activity with the Principal. The focus for the month of February is being "Responsible".  The students are selected by their teachers as they see their students show responsibility.  Here are the Students of the Week for February 5.

Mrs. Hansen is a 6th grade teacher at Mapleton Elementary.  She enjoys hunting, hiking, fishing, camping and reading.  Her favorite children’s book is “Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan.  She and her husband Rob have one daughter, and she attends Mapleton Elementary.  Her favorite vacation was to Mexico, and she would love to see Greece and Rome.  She loves working at the school because of the awesome faculty, students and parents. 

Our annual day of caring was a huge success once again.  Each class took part in tying blankets to prepare to take to the Primary Children's Hospital.  We would like to thank everyone that donated fleece for this project, and for the willingness of the students to prepare them for children in need of a little extra care and comfort.  We were able to make and donate 200 blankets this year.

Mrs. Rawlings takes care of take home library and is a Kindergarten technician at Mapleton Elementary.  She loves animals, and enjoys to cook and hike.  Her favorite children’s book is “Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose” by Dr. Suess.  She and her husband have two daughters and a few pets.  Her favorite vacation was to Washington D.C., and she would love to go to a tropical beach.  She enjoys working with the kids at the school and she thinks kids are fun. 

4th graders participated in a Mountain Man Rendezvous to end term 2.  They used their "Beaver Skins" they had earned to pay for games, crafts, and treats and trinkets at the Trading Post.
