During the month of September we spotlighed a Student of the Week from each classroom.  These students received a certificate and prize from Mrs. Peery and their name was put in a drawing for a chance to have "Pizza with the Principal."  Twelve names were drawn out to have "Pizza with the Principal" on Tuesday, October 14.  The focus for the month of September was friendship.  

Pictured here are the lucky winners  of "Pizza with the Principal":

Tia Jenkins, Ali Smith, Lisiate Valeti, Morgan Pratt, Trent Willson, and Daniel Keliliki.

The students at Mapleton Elementary had a practice fire drill on Monday, October 13 after the firemen came and taught each class about fire safety.  The students quickly followed the procedure of the school when the fire alarm went off.  They followed their assigned route to the back of the school and lined up.  All teachers made sure that each student was accounted for, and then they were able to come back in the school to keep learning.  We have several drills each year to help the students to be prepared in case of an emergency.

Pictured here is Mrs. Naylor's third grade class proudly holding up their new dictionaries that were donated from the Rotary Club.  Thank You for the donation!!!

The chief fire fighter and fire fighter Bills visited Mapleton Elementary to remind students to keep their home smoke alarms in working order and what to do at home if a fire starts ; feel the door with the back of your hand near a door before opening it, throw stuff out of your window so that the fire fighters can find you.  They also passed out candy on a stick that says"in case of fire hurry outside and a fire safety fun book.
