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!

This week we celebrated a truly special teacher—Mrs. Porter—who is retiring after 30 years in education. Known for her love of sloths, we honored her with a Rainforest Relay, complete with her third grade teammates dressed in blow up animal costumes and office staff dressed in sloth costumes! Mrs. Porter has inspired countless students and mentored teachers across several schools as an instructional coach and facilitator. She is deeply loved and will be greatly missed, but we’re excited for her next adventure. Cindy, thank you for your patience, dedication, and the wisdom you’ve shared with us all. Remember: “Be patient, great things take time.” Happy retirement! #ThankYouMrsPorter #SlothWisdom #HappyRetirement @maple_ridge_elementary_PTA

Today some of our former Maple Ridge students came back for a special visit before their graduation. These students were 3rd graders at Maple Ridge when we first opened in 2015. Mrs. Manning was able to take a picture with some of her former 3rd grade students from that year. Ms. Paynter also took a picture with some of her former students who were in her class from 2017-18. It was so fun to see everyone! We are very proud of all of our students who are graduating from high school this year! Congratulations to all of you!

Today we had our "Cecil's Fun in the Sun Day" and it was so much fun! We are so grateful to our @maple_ridge_elementary_PTA and parent helpers who came to help run the games and make the day successful. The grand finale was the fire truck and many kids were brave enough to get wet despite the cooler weather. A big thank you to @mapletonfirerescue for bringing the fire truck!
