Dear Families,

You’re invited to shop our Scholastic Book Fair online from October 20th-28th! All purchases benefit our school and connect kids with new books, favorite characters, complete series, and more.

You’ll love the NEW option to shop for Book Fair exclusives directly from the interactive booklist and enjoy these special online shopping features:

Did you know that when you shop for the holidays at  smile.amazon.com/ch/87-0546418(link is external), AmazonSmile donates to Nebo Education Foundation? Nebo Education Foundation has received $3,875 through this program.

One hundred percent of these monies fund teacher grants to help supplement equipment and supplies for students. 

Mrs. Steen's fifth graders have been working on classifying shapes and then creating a hierarchy with the information. There is a lot of hard work and learning going on at Maple Ridge!

Maple Ridge first graders in Mrs. Williams' class have been working hard on blended learning opportunities. They have been using technology independently in literacy centers and math and have been doing activities in programs like Seesaw, Boomcards, and Quizizz. Well done first graders!

Maple Ridge kindergarteners have been learning about our community helpers. They got a visit from the Mapleton Fire Department and students learned about fire safety, what to do in an emergency and the fire fighters showed all their equipment and trucks. The Spanish Fork K-9 unit also came and talked to the students about safety and what they do to keep the community safe. Thank you Mapleton Fire Department and Spanish Fork Police Department!

Remember to turn in your PTA Reflections project. The theme for this year, 2020-2021, is "I Matter Because. . .". 

PTA Reflections welcomes, free of charge, students from all grades and abilities to explore and be involved in the arts. Annually, thousands of students will reflect on a common theme and create original works of art in the categories of Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, 2D Visual Arts, and 3D Visual Arts.

Today maple Ridge students had a special visitor named Speedy for Red Ribbon Week! Speedy, a Belgian Malinois, is a retired police dog. His owner, Patrick, was a police officer and Speedy was his partner. They worked together to help track down drugs and keep people safe. Ask your student what they learned about Speedy today. A big thank you to our Maple Ridge PTA for arranging Patrick and Speedy's visit. We enjoyed having them in our school!
