Mike Bennett and Kyson Crompton, students who benefitted and excelled from the school’s Math Mastery program in fifth grade, showed their progress from the math enrich provided to the students at a Nebo District board meeting. This included spending time with varying teachers based on math needs during the re-teach and enrich portion of the day. Two trained technicians make math enrichment possible. Teachers can meet with smaller differentiated groups. The students discussed how they love the challenge of math this year.

Mrs. Helquist the MJHS orchestra director and Mrs. Smith, the band director brought the band and orchestra to our school, treating the students to holiday music including a sing along.  It was fun to see the former Mapleton Elementary students return as top notch musicians.

This year at Mapleton Elementary 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 "Pizza with the Principal." The focus for the month of December is "Caring."  The students are selected based upon the attitude they show to their teachers, peers and faculty at the school. Here are the Students of the Week of December 8-12.

Mapleton Elementary has a long tradition of singing around the tree during the month of December.  Several times during the month the whole school comes to the auditorium to sing Christmas carols together, as well as hear each class perform a Christmas song.  Pictured here is the 4th grade and Kindergarten classes performing for the entire school.

We have had a successful clothing drive at Mapleton Elementary and would like to thank everyone for all of the donations.  A special thanks to the Student Council members that have helped each day with the donations.
