This week we are honoring our "Radical Readers" here at Mapleton Elementary School.
Students are working to read each day and continue to make progress in reading. We
appreciate the example they are setting for other friends and classmates. They have
chosen  reading as a priority in their studies. Congratulations to these students!

"It Pays to Read "at Mapleton Elementary school. Students had a special treat in store for them when they arrived at an assembly on Friday. Springville Librarian's, " Story Ladies"  rewarded students for all the reading they have been doing with a very special puppet show. Students were selected to come forward and compete to be able to choose how their story would end, complete with dragons, witches and other characters. Pictured here with the Story Lady are  Emma Swensen, Lexi Smith and Noah Snyder.                        .

 Here at Mapleton Elementary we encourage students to be kind and of service to one another.  We appreciate and want to recognize those students who are showing these qualities each day . These students were selected by their friends and teachers.

Students at Mapleton Elementary School started off the New Year "Doing their Best" in Math!

Forty Four sixth grade students under the direction of Jessica Knight took the stage Tuesday night for their first concert.  The combined orchestra of Hobble Creek Elementary and Mapleton Elementary performed twelve pieces.  The first half of the program featured traditional folk songs while the second half included Christmas Carols including a celtic tune "Three Ships at the Calliope House".  Three solos, flute, ukulele, violin, were also a part of the program.  Mrs. Knight told the audience that this was the largest orchestra she has directed.
