Today was a total blast! Our third graders headed down to the rodeo for a day of spurs, saddles, and sunshine. They had so much fun learning about Western heritage and seeing the action up close. Such a memorable experience for our students!





At Maple, we love celebrating our students when they go the extra mile! 🌟
Through our Tribe Ticket program, students earn rewards for showing leadership and kindness in the classroom. Today was "Turn-In Day," where students used their tickets to "purchase" items from the Prize Cart or choose fun experiences with their favorite staff and peers.
A huge thank you to our Maple family for making these rewarding moments possible for our kids! ❤️

What a whirlwind of a first week back from Spring Break! We hit the ground running at Maple and haven't slowed down since.
We kicked things off with our Maple Family Assembly, celebrating our amazing Warrior Award winners over a delicious family breakfast. Then, we shifted gears to our R.I.S.E. Assembly to get pumped for upcoming testing!
A huge shoutout to Ms. Bradberry for organizing an epic Students vs. Staff game to show us how we can "Level Up" our testing game! 🎮✨ We are so proud of the hard work our teachers and students are putting in.
Let’s finish the year strong, Warriors!

What a day! 🌟 Our 5th graders traded the classroom for the real world today at the School of Economics! 💸
From mastering marketplace concepts to exploring future careers, these students are well on their way to becoming financially savvy pros. Our mission is to provide hands-on learning that sticks for a lifetime, and seeing the "aha!" moments today was priceless.
Huge thanks to our incredible staff and volunteers for making this happen. The kids had an absolute blast! 🚀

A Morning Full of Warrior Pride!
What an incredible Friday we had celebrating our amazing Warriors!
We kicked things off with our Family Warrior Breakfast, and it was so wonderful to see our halls filled with smiling faces and supportive families. We couldn't ask for a better community!
RISE Focus: Super Collaborators
This March, our RISE focus is all about being Super Collaborators. To put our skills to the test, we held a high-energy staff vs. student challenge during our assembly! It was a blast watching everyone work together to crush the goal.
PBIS Focus: Kindness
Kindness is the name of the game this month! We are officially tracking our building-wide PBIS goal on the Kindness Board.
How it works: When a student is caught being kind, they receive a "Kindness Kudo."
The Result: Those kudos go right up on our board for the whole school to see!
We are so proud of the hard work and heart our students are showing every single day. Keep it up, Warriors!

Last night, our amazing PTO hosted a RISE-themed engagement night focused on I – Innovative! We loved seeing our Maple families work together to create structures using spaghetti and marshmallows so much creativity and fun all around. Congratulations to all of our winners!










Last week, we were excited to welcome some special visitors from SHS! The Lakeside Singers performed for our fourth, fifth, and sixth graders, and it was an amazing experience for all. We wrapped up the week with our PBIS Tribe Ticket turn-in and loved seeing so many students redeeming their tickets for fun experiences at Maple, reading with siblings continues to be a favorite! We hope all of our families are staying warm today and getting a great start on their AMI learning.




We’ve had an incredible start to the second semester here at Maple! Last week was packed with celebrations, from our Warrior Breakfast to our Family R.I.S.E. Assembly. Our students also had a blast heading over to SHS to participate with the high school basketball teams! It’s been a week full of school spirit and community. Check out some of our highlights! 🏀✨
