April 2020

This coming Friday is National School Principals' Day. We decided that we would celebrate Mrs. Matis this whole week! We are so grateful for her and for all she does for Maple Ridge. Mrs. Matis is truly an outstanding administrator. She possesses the unusual and refreshing capacity to effectively balance skillful administration while maintaining a fun school atmosphere and conveying a genuine caring for students and staff members. She is truly loved! Thank you Mrs. Matis for all your hard work! 

This week is Secretaries' Week at Maple Ridge. Our Secretaries are still working each day at school and we wanted them to know how much we love them. Our theme for the week is "Oh the Places You'll Go (In Utah County)." We also had a spirit day on Monday and students were invited to think about a place they'd like to visit after quarantine and dress like a tourist so that they could be involved from home. We sure love our secretaries Mrs. Simmons and Mrs. Gatley. Our school is an amazing place because of them!

We made it to Spring Break! No at home learning this week. We hope you get out and enjoy the sunshine a little bit while still being safe and maintaining your social distance. We love and miss you!

We miss all of our friends but we are trying to stay positive and hope you are too! We think you should watch this video and then have your own "Me Parties" over Spring Break. We love you all!
