It's time for Parent Teacher Conferences and Walking Report Cards.  Throughout this week our PTA Book Fair will also be open before and after school.  Many of our teachers have sent out the sign-up link via email, but here is another way to access available appointment times in order to meet busy schedules.  Thank you for making every effort to attend in order to see and discuss student progress as well as set goals for Term 4.

Mrs. Olsen's Sign Ups

Representatives from Mapleton Junior High school band and orchestra recently visited with sixth grade students to get them motivated to participate in the music programs there next year.  Students were even able to try out some of the instruments.  

To raise money for the student council, students at Maple Ridge will be able to participate in the Penny Wars.  Each grade level will have a jar in front of the offices before school from 8:35-8:55.  Students can put in pennies to count as points for their grade level, but students from OTHER grades can counteract those points with silver change and/or dollar bills.  The winning grade level will get a game/rootbeer float party.

On Thursday, February 18th, several students in fifth and sixth grade chose to participate in the science fair.  This year, the science fair was optional to students in the upper grades.  A few of the projects were chosen to represent Maple Ridge in the district fair which will be held on Tuesday, February 23rd.
