Students in the sixth grade have recently been learning about Ancient Greece.  They were also assigned a myth from that time period to research as a group.  Each group designed a poster related to that myth and displayed them for SEP Conferences.

At the end of term two, SEP Conferences were held at Maple Ridge.  Many teachers took the opportunity to have the students show what they have been learning about in school.  In sixth grade, students were able to do Walking Report Cards, where they showed their parents what they have learned in the various subject areas.

Nebo School District will be hosting a series of Parent Awareness Nights.  The topics of discussion will include mental health and safety planning with youth.  Several community service providers will be present to answer question and help individuals to access services.  See the attached link for more information.

Recently, students in the fourth grade at Maple Ridge have been learning how to play chess.  Chess instruction is thought by many, to improve children's cognitive and academic skills.
