Our art teacher, Mrs. Stonehocker, is retiring. She has taught hundreds of students during her 6 1/2 years at Maple Ridge and they have learned so many fun art techniques from her. Thank you for all your hard work and effort at Maple Ridge, Mrs. Stonehocker! We are going to miss you but we send you off with best wishes for your new adventures ahead!

Let's have some fun this week before the break! See the picture for this week's dress up days!

Maple Ridge second graders have been learning about holidays around the world. In Ms. Jordan's class they got to learn about and celebrate Chinese New Year! Students made dragons to represent good luck and good fortune. 

Author, Vaughn R Cook, donated a hard bound copy of his book, The Littlest Jingle Bell, to every student at Maple Ridge! Students will be receiving a copy before the Christmas break from their teacher if they have not received it yet. Mrs. Steen's class enjoyed taking time time to read their new Christmas book during the first big snowstorm this school year! Thank you Mr. Cook for your generous donation!
