Maple Ridge Elementary Student Council was invited to present on Kindness Month at the Nebo School District board meeting on Wednesday, March 8th. Presenters included Eden Doxey, Landon Holdaway, Izabella Hanson, Harrison Beck, McKinley Rothlisberger, and Stone Norton.

Ms. Crandall's third grade class recently had a reading day celebration where they had a “book tasting” escape room. The students read books in 4 different genres, fiction, non-fiction, biography, and poetry and wrote menu reviews. Many of the students had not read biography or poetry books and had the chance to give them a try! 

Ms. Harward's third grade class did some really fun origami type art to support our understanding of fractions! It was great to connect what we’ve been learning about fractions to a new art project.

Students in Mrs Berbert’s class prepare for a science experiment where they will be comparing the growth of plants with and without light. These kids can’t wait to find out what will happen!

February was Kindness Month at Maple Ridge. Throughout the month our student council gave us challenges to work on and planned activities for Maple Ridge students to participate in. They challenged us all to SMILE, COMPLIMENT, and INVITE each week during the month. Our student council decorated the halls with kindness quotes to remind us all of the importance of being kind. Students wrote kind things they had done or someone had done for them and hung them on a sign that was displayed at the front of the school. They also wrote thank you notes to people they appreciate during lunch.
