Mapleton Elementary PTA

September 21st-24th

This year we are introducing Green Ribbon Week (Pedestrian and Passenger Safety) to Mapleton Elementary! We want your children to be safe while traveling as passengers in a vehicle or while sharing the road (walking, biking, riding scooters, etc). 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!

It’s time for Reflections! Our theme this year is “I Will Change the World By…”

We are so excited to see the entries come in this year. All submissions are now done online. Please go to www.utahpta.org/ref for information.
If you have any questions, please e-mail [email protected]

Entries for our school are due October 5th!

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. If you want to volunteer you can sign up at the open house.

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.

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!
