The fourth grade had their official Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony on Wednesday, January 22nd.  Former Hogwarts students in fifth grade cheered the newly sorted fourth graders into their houses.  Future Hogwarts students, the third graders, were invited to the ceremony as well.

On January 17th, the fourth grade students had a blast at the annual fourth grade Rendezvous.  The Rendezvous celebrates excellent student behavior during term two, where students worked hard to earn 'beaver skins'.  Students enjoyed learning all about Utah's Mountain Men.  Students were able to spend their beaver skins at various stations, including games, a Mountain Man photo booth, and a trading post.  The fourth grade teachers are especially grateful to the Rymer family for loaning us the beautiful furs students were able to use for the photo booth.

Friday marked the 100th day of School for Students at Mapleton Elementary. It was a very busy week.  Students entered the school as they traditionally have for the last 15 years, through a big 100 set up each year by our First Grade Teachers. Thanks to Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Abbott, Miss Thompson and Mrs. Snyder.  We also appreciate the help of Mr.

We were excited to see many 7th grade students at Mapleton Elementary on Friday, January 31.  They were here Job Shadowing with many of the teachers at the school.  The 7th grade students have the opportunity to take one day a year to learn more about a career that they are interested in.  We were happy to see many familiar faces here at the school once again.  We have great teachers here at Mapleton Elementary, and this was shown by how many students were back here to shadow their teachers from previous years.
