The activities listed below have been planned to help promote student safety.  Please support this event by helping your children participate in these activities and look for messages to come home each day!

Tuesday, 21st	Safety Assembly Mapleton Police and Fire Departments will discuss pedestrian and passenger safety; green backpack ribbons will be given to students who pledge to be safe!
Wednesday, 22nd	Walk to School Day Children are encouraged to walk, bike, or ride their scooters to school.
Thursday, 23rd	Dress in Green Day! Come to school dressed in green to celebrate safety!
Friday, 24th	Be Mighty Mountaineer Safe! Show your school spirit by wearing any Mapleton Elementary t-shirt or dressing in blue!

We are pleased to announce that Chick-fil-A is once again sponsoring our PTA membership drive at Mapleton Elementary. For each membership purchased you will receive a gift card for a free combo meal! (Must have child attending Mapleton Elementary for 2021-22 school year, limit 2 per family.) Gift cards will be available for pick up at the open house on August 17, after that they will be sent home with your student. A single membership is $6 and a dual membership is $12. This is a great way to support the PTA and get free food. (You can’t buy a combo for $6!) There is no obligation to serve in the PTA once you join, but we’d love to have your help.

Miss Emily Blaisdell was nominated by Mapleton Elementary PTA for the Outstanding Elementary Educator Award through Utah PTA and was selected as a state winner! We have so many incredible teachers at Mapleton Elementary that there is a certain guilt that accompanies singling out just one teacher for such an award, but we are excited to celebrate Emily’s accomplishment. Her award was announced at the Utah PTA Leadership Convention and she was also recognized at the latest Nebo School Board Meeting. Congratulations Emily and thank you to all of our amazing teachers for all that they do for our children.

This year we wanted to show our teachers how much we appreciate them by doing small things for them throughout the year. With Teacher Appreciation Week approaching, we are planning to serve a nacho bar to the teachers for lunch. If you would like to sign up for a food donation, please use the signup genius link below.

The luncheon will be served on Friday, May 7th. Donations should be turned in by Wednesday, May 5th. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your support of our Penny Wars! The kids had a lot of fun as they developed strategies to help their class!

The class with the most points in each grade was awarded with a cotton candy party, while the rest of the students were given a smaller treat. Thank you to Lollipuff for generously donating their time and the cotton candy for each class! Each child got to pick a gourmet flavor and watch their cotton candy be spun- it was a lot of fun!
