This year was Mapleton Elementary School's Second Halloween Parade.  Faculty, students and Parents alike were in their finest form. Everyone seems to have caught the Halloween spirit with their Grade Level Teams, office Staff and specialists here at our school certainly went the extra mile. The parade wound around the school, in and out of the classrooms with a special trip through the auditorium where many family members and friends waited patiently to see the vast assortment of costumes.

We had a great Walk-a-thon and Fall Extravaganza this year.  Thanks to everyone for their support. Students did a great job walking and getting donations. We always succeed when everyone pitches in and helps.  We had a great turn out with games, slides, hay ride and petting zoo not to mention an awesome "Spook Alley"! Everyone lined up for a turn to be scared. Thanks to the volunteers who created an excellent experience for everyone to enjoy!  Here are a few pictures of the fun and celebration!

Thanks to a birthday celebration in Mrs. Ginnie Snyder's First Grade Class, the little vampires arrived early! " ve vant to Vish you all, a most vunderfull Halloveen" ha ha ha ha!

Hat's off to our Second Grade Students and their teachers, Sheri Jensen, Christine Jones, Jeanmarie Andersen, Kelsey Foster and Karlee Hansen. They welcomed their students with the theme "We Can Do Hard Things" . Then they put them right to work and proved it!  Sheri Jensen reported on the event as follows:

We hope all students and parents are enjoying their summer break. As we prepare for a new school year, we want to let you know of a few important dates that are coming up.
