March is a great month to recognize Mapleton Elementary School students who have worked hard to become better writers.  This week we are celebrating our "Wonderful Writers" selected by their teachers for giving their best effort in writing. We know that there are many others who are working toward this goal and want to encourage everyone to keep writing.

The following students received this honor:  Pictured here from left to right

We want to congratulate Mrs. Ginnie Snyder for being nominated as Mapleton Elementary Teacher of the Year.  Mrs. Snyder has been at Mapleton Elementary for nineteen of her twenty-one years of teaching.  For the past eighteen years she has enjoyed teaching first grade.   She has also taught second grade. 

First and Second Grade students at Mapleton Elementary celebrated "Dr. Seuss Day"
with reading, singing and parading around the school. Students showed up dressed as
characters from Dr. Seuss stories and brought their books to read.
 
Mrs. Snyder's class has 3 sets of twins and Mrs. Snyder  also has a twin brother.
It was fun and  really made everyone smile when two sets of twins showed up dressed as
"Thing one and Thing two" Pictured here from left to right are twins,
