Maple Ridge Student Council is holding a Penny War from Monday, Dec. 12- Friday, Dec. 16. We will be having a fun and friendly competition between classes but also helping our community! All funds will go to the Utah Food and Care Coalition. 

Maple Ridge fourth grade teacher, Darlene Mathews was recognized this week as our 2022 Crystal Apple winner. Mrs. Mathews has taught both 5th and 4th grades at Maple Ridge. Her team said, "Darlene makes coming to work a pleasure. Her smile and witty humor helps get us through even the roughest days. She thinks outside of the box when she plans her lessons and teaches in fun and creative ways." Mrs. Mathews is a well-loved and talented teacher. We are lucky to have her at Maple Ridge! Congratulations Mrs. Mathews!

Mrs. Olson's 4th graders learned different watercolor techniques with their UVU student teachers. They did a great job!

Fifth grade wrapped up their Revolutionary War simulation just before Thanksgiving Break. They made puppets of influential Loyalists and Patriots in preparation for a speed learning activity where they had conversations with each other. Following this activity was the Revolutionary war...Battleship style. 

We look forward to having the opportunity to meet with parents to set goals and discuss student progress.  Please sign up for a time that works with your schedule.  We appreciate your support!  The majority of conferences will take place Wednesday, Dec. 7 but other dates are included as well.

Mrs. Porter’s third grade class learned all about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. They read about the famous German American puppeteer, Tony Sarg. Then they designed their own balloon puppets for the Maple Ridge Thanksgiving Day Parade!

On Tuesday afternoon we had our 8th Annual Maple Ridge Gobble Off! One representative from each class came down to the office to gobble over the intercom. Students in their classrooms voted for their favorites. This is a well-loved tradition at our school! Congratulations to our winners who each took home a turkey for their family's Thanksgiving dinner. 1st place: Daxton Skinner, 2nd place: Rohan McGary, 3rd place: Nolan Peterson.

Students in Mrs. Sanders' fourth grade class recently read about a famous collage artist. They used various mediums to create their own collage art and displayed their masterpieces in the hall.

Students in Mrs. Mathew's fourth grade had fun practicing math skills while playing a fun game called "Emoji Island."
