October 2022

We had such a fun day today! A big thank you to all the parents who came to help with parties and helped made our Halloween activities so successful! Be sure to scroll through all of the pictures.

We will hold our annual Maple Ridge Halloween parade on Monday at 9:30 am. Parents are invited. Please stand outside around the school and keep sidewalks clear for students. We are looking forward to a fun Halloween at Maple Ridge!

Maple Ridge kindergarteners had a fun field trip to Glen Ray’s Pumpkin Patch! We had fun going through the corn maze, playing in the corn pit, and going down the giant slide. We even learned about how pumpkins grow and all the jobs farmers do. Thank you to all the parents who came and helped! It was a fun fall day!

Join Utah Parent Center Consultant, Heidi Whittaker for this workshop on anxiety. Information for registration is found on the flyer.

First graders in Miss Stokes’ class have been learning how to write 5 sentences to form a paragraph! This week students worked in groups and brainstormed, planned, drafted and published paragraphs about what they like about Halloween!

Maple Ridge second graders recently enjoyed a visit from the Hogle Zoo. They learned about Utah habitats and met some cool animals. Thank you, Hogle Zoo!

We are so appreciative of the generosity of several people who donated instruments they were no longer using for our students to use during music class. Since many wished to remain anonymous, we only have first names for some of them. A big thank you to Tiffani, Beth Hardy, Carlos, Eric, John, Ron, Katelyn, and Ryan McKnight. Thank you for your kind hearts and your willingness to help our students learn to love and appreciate hearing and playing music!

Maple Ridge fourth graders recently went on a field trip to the Natural History Museum in SLC. A big thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped make the field trip successful!

Sunday, October 16th was Boss' Day and we were on Fall Break, so we celebrated today instead! We are so grateful for Mrs. Matis and truly believe she goes the extra mile for faculty, staff, and students. We love you Mrs. Matis! Thanks for all you do to make Maple Ridge such a great school!

Mrs. Sanders' 4th graders have recently been learning about fossils and they did an art project depicting a leaf trapped in tree sap. It was a fun way to recreate something that happened thousands of years ago!
