Steve James performed for Maple Ridge Students as part of the kickoff to Red Ribbon Week.  Steve James has been positively affecting the lives of children and families through his effective and entertaining school assembly programs for many years. Steve’s original music and interactive elementary school assemblies help build character, instill self-esteem, encourage good citizenship and service to the community, promote tolerance and understanding, and a whole lot more.

Last week, every Maple Ridge student was gifted with a pumpkin, courtesy of Harward Farms.  Thank you Harward Farms!!!

Fifth grade teachers and students donned their colonial wear to celebrate Colonial Day.  The classes got a little taste of what it may have been like to live during colonial times.

Teachers throughout Nebo School District learn how to integrate the arts through training.  Mr. Bates' Class got to experience and entertain the art specialist from Nebo School District and reinforce their knowledge about fossils. It was educational and extremely  engaging all wrapped-up into one lesson. Which fossil do you think looks the scariest?

Recently, sixth grade students from Maple Ridge attended the Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center in Pleasant Grove where they learned about core curriculum concepts related to space.  They also participated in a flight simulation where they had to work together to achieve a goal.
