On Friday, March 24th, Kindergarten students at Maple Ridge donned their homemade race cars for the Kindy 500. The students learned about different places around the country while having fun at the same time. Many were impressed with how elaborate the costumes were.

As part of their study of the PROTIST kingdom, sixth grade students recently created 3D models of amoebas, paramecium and euglena.

Did you know that our amazing librarian recently built an igloo out of milk jugs?  Miss Stacey, the librarian, issued a challenge for students to guess how many milk jugs were used in the construction of the igloo.  Those with the closest guesses were recognized.

Students at Maple Ridge who earned Cecil Bucks, recently were able to use them at the Cecil Store for prizes and treats.  Cecil Bucks are awarded to students with good behavior.

Recently, representatives with Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City visited Maple Ridge to teach students about science concepts.  Students were able to learn more about why we have seasons, and why the earth is actually colder when we are closer to the sun.  Students were also able to hold a real meteorite.
