Submitted by sara.matis on

The second grade enjoyed a visit from the Loveland Living Aquarium on Tuesday, September 21.  Students had the opportunity to learn about the rainforest and some of the special animals that live there.   Seeing a cockroach, millipede, snake, and lizard up close made the visit extra special!

Proud to be Americans

Submitted by becky.manning on

Mrs. Sanders’ 4th graders are learning about our rights and responsibilities as U.S. citizens, the symbols of the Utah state flag and what the role of the President of the United States is. They designed their own flag and also recreated an American flag. They are proud to be Americans! #mapleridgepride #riseup #missionpossible #NeboSchoolDistrict #StudentSuccess #EngageStudents #FocusonStudents #LoveUTpublicschools #UtEd #Loveteaching

Author J. Scott Savage visited our school today! He has written a book that is a continuation of Alice in Wonderland called, "The Lost Wonderland Diaries." When asked who his favorite Alice in Wonderland character is, Scott said the Mad Hatter.
