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!

If you need an idea for a gift for your teacher for Christmas, the PTA is sponsoring "Wish Upon a Star". Trees are hanging outside the teachers' doors and stars include things off of their wish list for their classroom. If you would like to, you can take a star off of the teacher's tree to provide that item for the classroom. We are grateful for such a supportive PTA and generous parents! @maple_ridge_elementary_PTA


Before the Thanksgiving Break, Maple Ridge students enjoyed our annual "Gobble Off" competition. One person from each class was chosen to gobble on the intercom and the students listening voted for their favorites. Our winners were: Milo Machado, Steele Hansen, and Edgar Carreno. They each won a turkey to take home and share with their families, Stratton Briggs and Quinn Bowen were runners up and won amazing turkey hats! We had a great time. We are thankful for all our Maple Ridge students!




We had a great night at Culver's this week. Thanks to everyone who came to support, for the PTA who arranged everything and the cute kids who helped serve!



These cute first graders in Mrs. Williams' class finished their unit learning about Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. They also learned about Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They made pharaoh headdresses, created gods with animal heads and labeled them with hieroglyphics. They also made menorahs, nativities and the five pillars of Islam. We are learning so many cool things this year!






Congratulations to these students for being recognized as Students of the Month! These students were recognized for being supportive. We are proud of them! (Not pictured: Bronson Burgon, Gwen Kingsford, Hudson Nielsen, Dylan Maciel & Parker Machen)

Congratulations to Mrs. Schmidt for being the Crystal Apple Award winner for Maple Ridge this year. Mrs. Schmidt is one of our special education teachers. She is super knowledgeable and works hard to make sure all of our students receive the support they need to be successful. She supports teachers not only with academic instruction but with behavior interventions as well when needed. The best thing about Mrs. Schmidt is how much she loves and cares for her students. We love you, Vanessa! Thank you for all you do to make Maple Ridge such a great place to be.

Maple Ridge families:
Please invite any family members, neighbors, or friends who are active duty service members or veterans to come to our short program at 9:45 on Monday.
