Today was "Pumpkin Day" at Maple Ridge! A big thank you to Harward Farms, and especially our very own Maddex and Kaison Wilson, for donating a pumpkin to each of our students! It's always a fun and exciting time when the pumpkins get delivered and we are so grateful to Harward Farms for making our October so festive.
Congratulations to our Students of the Month for September! They were recognized for being honest. We are so proud of all of them! (Not pictured: Hudson Thorpe, Faye Boyce, Emily Rosell, Coco Lamb, Riley Thompson, Lucy Greene)
Mrs. Steen's class is having a blast creating podcasts about their poetry. They took their favorite poem they wrote and discussed it with each other. Look at the smiles!
Picture retake day is Monday, Oct. 13th. If your student wasn't at school for our original picture day, they will have their picture taken on Monday.
Dudes and Donuts this Thursday and Friday at Maple Ridge! Come with your favorite DUDE (dad, grandpa, uncle, neighbor, etc. etc) to get a donut and visit our book fair. This is one of the most favorite activities of the year. Don't miss it!
Parent Teacher Conferences are this Thursday (some teachers also have some conferences taking place on Wednesday after school as well). We are looking forward to meeting with you!
Red Butte Gardens recently visited our first grade and shared an amazing hands on lesson about how seeds move. Students were able to make predictions and test different methods of travel like wind and seeds sticking to animal fur. We can’t wait for them to come back in the Spring!
A huge thank you to our @maple_ridge_elementary_PTA for putting on another fun and successful carnival! We are so grateful for all of their hard work. Thank you to the many volunteers who helped that night as well. We loved seeing so many students and their families there that night! Thank you for coming and supporting our school! We love our school community!
We've been in school now for more than 1 month! Can you believe how fast that went? Here are a few pictures of some of our darling kindergarteners on "Signing Day" where they signed their "Letter of Intent" to join us at Maple Ridge. So far our newest students are doing great!
Today was Constitution Day and Mrs. Steen's fifth grade class learned about and read the U.S. Constitution. Students were amazed at how long it actually is!
Mrs. Moore's 4th grade class has been working on their final unit project for CKLA. Students created their own picture books based on a personal narrative story. They got to share their story in partnerships and interview each other with interview questions that they planned. The picture books are now in the classroom library for everyone to be able to read!
Our 5th grade students recently went on a field trip to the 9/11 Remembrance Event at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds. It was a great opportunity for them!
We have an incredibly rare opportunity to participate in the 9/11 Remembrance Event being held at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds. This is not just for students, it is for all our families. Please take some time today , Thursday, September 11th through Saturday, September 13th from 9 am to 9 pm to attend this wonderful event. We are so grateful to the Major Brent Taylor Foundation for putting on this event and helping us to "REMEMBER".
Thursday, Sept. 11th is our school carnival! Our PTA has put in a lot of work to make this fundraiser super fun for students and we hope to see you there! Ticket pre sales will take place before and after school this week.
We still need volunteers! If you can help on Thursday night, please go to: https://bit.ly/4p8Tzub (case sensitive). @maple_ridge_elementary_PTA
Join us for some fun at the Harvest Park grounds Monday from 5-7 PM. Police and Fire are going all out this time! We will have the public safety personnel and their vehicles to allow your children to climb through with someone to answer their questions. Kids will get a chance to spray the fire hoses with a firefighter buddy, and watch them demonstrate how they might extricate someone from a car…with a real car. Nyx our canine officer and her handler Officer Hatch will share Nyx's crazy skills including someone dressed up to receive her "attention". And to top it all off, a free hot dog dinner is included so you don't have to cook at home! Come join us for good times while we sneak knowledge into your children through fun.
OH…and don't forget the dunk tank!

Mrs. Rasmussen's class did a team building activity this week! Students talked about things they had in common, and wrote them on an index card to build a tower. Students built high towers as they found they had more in common than not!
