Before the break, Maple Ridge 5th graders learned about the Renaissance. During their studies, students in Mrs. Kruse and Mrs. Jensen's class read about Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel. Then they participated in their own experience of the Desk-tine Chapel. @maple_ridge_elementary_pta
Our 5th grade students participated in NOVA graduation before the break. NOVA is a Utah based program to help students with decision making. We are grateful for the. Mapleton Police Department who spends so much time teaching our students and making connections with them as well as checking in on us often at the school to keep us all safe. @maple_ridge_elementary_pta
During this year’s Penny Wars, Maple Ridge students and families were able to raise $4659.77 for the Community Action Services and Food Bank. They also donated food that was collected during a food drive to honor Nate Carr. Our student council was able to deliver the check and food donations in person and learn more about Community Action Services. We are proud of our Maple Ridge community and their generosity! Thank you to all who donated! @maple_ridge_elementary_pta
Our tree grows EXTRA big the day before the break! We hope that you are all enjoying your time off. We can't wait to see you back in January!

Some of our cute second graders during December!
Many of our students participated in our Maple Ridge choir this year. They did an AMAZING job and brought the Christmas spirit to our school. A big thank you to Mrs. Couey, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Berbert, Ms. Jordan, Ms. Spencer, and Mrs. Southam for leading the choir and practicing each week with them! @maple_ridge_elementary_pta
Maple Ridge students enjoyed visits from the Maple Mountain High School band and choir this holiday season. Thank you to these high school students who came and shared their talents with us! @maple_ridge_elementary_pta @mmhs_goldeneagles @mmhs.choirs
Don't forget...Friday is an extra early out day. School is out at noon.
Third grade students at Maple Ridge were visited by a member of the Springville Rotary who generously donated a dictionary to each one of our third graders. Thank you to the Springville Rotary for such an awesome donation.
Congratulations to these students for being chosen as Students of the Month for November. They were recognized for being thankful. (Not pictured: Cumorah Hansen, Beau Scarbrough, Eleanor Wright)
Congratulations to Maple Ridge 4th Grader, Jovie Bowen. She was the 3rd place winner in the Nebo School District Christmas card contest. Seth Sorenson from the district office came and presented Jovie with a cash prize. Congratulations Jovie!
Our 5th graders recently had their wax museum. Each student researched someone famous and wrote a speech explaining their accomplishments and dressed up like their person. Parents and students were able to visit the 5th grade classrooms and hear the speeches.
Well done 5th graders! We are impressed by all your hard work!
It has been a tradition for us to honor our dear Maple Ridge friends, the Carr Family and their dad Nate, by holding a food drive during the holidays. The food bank is especially in need of the following items: canned meat, canned or boxed meals, peanut butter, canned beans, canned vegetables and fruits, shelf stable milk, cereal, pasta, rice. All items are greatly appreciated but the food bank especially appreciates healthy options that are low fat, low sodium, gluten free, packed in water, packed in 100% juice, and whole grains. Thanks for donating!
