We were so lucky to have our District Music Coach, Laura Brockbank, come to Maple Ridge on St. Patrick's Day to play her bagpipes and teach students about Irish music and culture. Mrs. Brockbank is so talented and we are grateful that we had her expertise this year at Maple Ridge!
Our Maple Ridge First graders were able to have Red Butte Gardens visit their classes recently. They became plant scientists and were able to conduct experiments to determine which plants had the characteristics necessary to survive in a desert habitat. Red Butte Gardens did an amazing job and because of our most recent CKLA unit on Animal Habitats, students had some incredible background knowledge to help create their predictions.
The BYU Dunk Team recently visited Maple Ridge. BYU athletes taught students that they are "Built to Love, Built to Learn, Built to Work, Built to Connect." Students were thrilled to see Cosmo and the dunk team perform some amazing tricks. Thank you for coming @byudunkteam!
In February, our PTA sponsored White Ribbon Week for Internet Safety at Maple Ridge. Students participated in various activities throughout the week that helped emphasize being safe and kind while using technology. At the end of the week, students had a light up dance party and reviewed the things they learned. It was a fun week and students learned a lot. A big thank you to our @maple_ridge_elementary_PTA!
Shannon Wolfgramm was recently recognized by Craig Harvey as our 2024-25 Maple Ridge Classified Employee. Mrs. Wolfgramm is an instructional technician and does so much for our school. She does LOTS of recess duty in all kinds of weather, she tutors students, does all sorts of projects, makes copies, covers classes when needed, and even sometimes helps on field trips! Our school would not function without our fantastic technicians and Shannon is one of the best! Thank you Mrs. Wolfgramm for all you do! @horacemanninsurance @craigharvey.agency
Congratulations to these students for being our Students of the Month for February. These students were recognized for being kind. We are so proud of them!
Magic Mike visited students today for the Maple Ridge Strong assembly to talk about the "Magic in Me." Students learned that they have the power to choose how they take care of their bodies and stay healthy. Magic Mike also talked about the choices we make everyday in how we treat others. We can choose to be kind and helpful. We can choose to reach out to others when they need our support. Thank you Magic Mike for your magical and wonderful lesson!
No school on Monday, February 17. Enjoy your day off! We will see you on Tuesday.

It's Kindness Month at Maple Ridge. Every Friday morning, our 5th graders stand out in front of the school welcoming the students as they come in. We invite parents to honk and show their support when dropping off their students on the next three Fridays in February. A big thank you to our Student Council for planning kindness activities for students this month!
Last week we celebrated our school counselor, Mrs. Moulton. We are grateful for all the help she gives teachers and students at Maple Ridge!
Mrs. Barlow's class read The Wild Robot this year and to celebrate finishing it, the students made their own robots out of cereal boxes and other craft supplies. They had so much fun- they even wanted to skip recess to keep working on their robots!

Ask these first graders all about the Solar System. They can tell you some amazing facts from their most recent CKLA Knowledge unit. They had so much fun learning about the planets, the atmosphere, the Space Race and stars.
