Students at Mapleton Elementary School got a special treat this week. Our Crossing Guard is awesome, she not only makes holidays fun, she goes the extra mile. Each day she has been dressed-up for Christmas. Her Elf costume is the personal favorite of everyone here at Mapleton.  She also has a basket for students to choose either a treat or a pencil. The students love it too! So from our school Mandy, we LOVE you and thanks for "DOING YOUR BEST", always! Mandy makes coming to school exciting! 

Mapleton Elementary School students love to participate in our "Sing Around the Tree" activities. This has been a tradition at Mapleton Elementary through all the years.  This year each Grade level performed a number for their piers including songs such as " Pine Cones and Holley Berries" Santa Got Stuck in the Chimney", "Marshmallow World, " "Silent Night", sung in 3 languages, and of course don't forget, "I Want a Hot Cup of Cocoa" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" just to mention a few!

The Student Council at Mapleton Elementary School would like to thank everyone for their generous donations to our Annual Food and Clothing Drive. The Student Council under the direction of Mrs. Darlene Christensen was in charge of this event.  Our community is always so supportive of this effort.  Each year the recipients of your donations are able to use everything donated. Pictured here from left to right are the student council with just a portion of your donations.

Mapleton Elementary School students and faculty were treated to a performance by the B.Y.U. Theater Department recently.

Theater students turned Mapleton's  Auditorium into a "Theater in the Round" to present a delightful rendition of  "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".  Second and Third Grade students attended a workshop after the performance to learn about reading with Voice. They were instructed in the use of roll play, sound orchestration, onomatopoeia ( words that represent sounds)  and analysis of the play.
 

Sixth grade students under the direction of Jessica Knight gave their family and friends their first concert on Thursday night December 6, 2012.  The combined ensemble, thirty seven students,  performed nine pieces from jazzy to traditional Christmas Carols. A large audience enjoyed the winter concert at Mapleton Elementary.
