Recently, four Maple Ridge sixth grade students placed second at BYU at the K12 Student Innovator of the Year competition.  Logan Smith, Austin Willson, Joseph Heaton, and Lars Simpson came up with the idea for an app to provide notification of completion of various household appliance tasks.  For example, this notification system would text you when your load of laundry was finished drying. Way to innovate!

During the week of April 17th-21st, teachers at Maple Ridge were pampered by both PTA and students.  On Monday morning, teachers came into the school, and were overwhelmed with the elaborately decorated doors, and a delicious breakfast of crepes.  Throughout the week, teachers were given notes from their students and provided another delicious meal by the PTA.  Thanks to all of the PTA for their hard work to make the teachers feel important!

Join us in celebrating our awesome educators here at Maple Ridge!

Recently, second grade students from Maple Ridge were able to visit Harward Farms.  They had a fun day of walking and seeing a variety of farm animals.

Before Spring Break, students at Maple Ridge Elementary had the opportunity to participate in Kindness Week.  Kindness Week was sponsored by the student council.  Every day throughout the week, students focused on one way they could show kindness to others.  If students wanted to sign a pledge to be kind, they received a kindness button.
