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!

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!


Spring Picture Day is February 13th. Students will only get their picture taken if they have purchased online or if they bring an order form and money that day. To prepay online go to mylifetouch.com. Create an account (or login) and use the Picture Day ID: EVTCBT3NQ.


Mrs. Matis was recognized last week with the Nebo Mentor Principal of the Year Award and Ms. Sharp was awarded the Nebo Assistant Principal of the Year Award and we definitely think they both are very deserving! We are so lucky to have them both at Maple Ridge! Their hard work for both students and staff make Maple Ridge the best place to be!

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.





Congratulations to Mrs. Matis for being awarded with the Nebo School District Principal Mentor of the Year. We are so grateful to have her leadership at Maple Ridge!


Maple Ridge 4th graders enjoyed a concert by the Utah Symphony last week.






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!
