Submitted by stacey.holmes on

Kindergarten students paraded the halls of Mapleton Elementary while all other students lined up to see students in their very clever forms of transportation which included cars, trucks, planes and other vehicles.  Students were told about their country by great volunteers and enjoyed activities throughout the day. Pictured here are the parading students and volunteers telling them about America.

At the end of a Day

Submitted by stacey.holmes on

Have you ever wondered what your teachers do after a hard day at school?  Why they work on their team building skills!
How do they do that?  Play dodge ball of course . . . choose up teams, set up the course, blow the whistle!  And it wouldn't be any fun without an audience, cheering squad and some treats to top it off!  And yes, a wonderful time was had by all. So wonderful in fact it will be repeated once again this week!  Being a teacher can be fun too!  How do you unwind at your school?
