It was so much fun seeing many of our former Maple Ridge students in their cap and gown before their graduation from Maple Mountain High School last week. We are so glad you came! @mmhs_goldeneagles
We had an epic goodbye party for Mrs. Matis on Monday complete with all the things she loves: VIPs (former Maple Ridge employees and community members), a fancy limo ride, costumes, music, a game, and even a flash mob! It was the best day celebrating with her! Many thanks to our @maple_ridge_elementary_PTA, @nataliefeltphotography, @limorydeutah, @mapletonpolice, @minkycouture , @utahtib, @principallori, @kenzie_peach, Curtis Simmons, Colter Manning, Heather Nelson, Joe Davies, the Maple Ridge Faculty and Staff and SO many others who made dreams come true and helped us have such an amazing time. Mrs. Matis is one of a kind! We have been blessed to have her at Maple Ridge for 11 years and we will miss her immensely!

We are "berry" lucky to have Mrs. Matis and Ms. Steiner at Maple Ridge. We could not ask for better leadership. We were happy to celebrate them this week as part of National School Principals' Day! We love you both "berry" much! Thank you for all you do for students and teachers and for making Maple Ridge a place we enjoy going to work and learn everyday!

Last week we celebrated our AMAZING secretaries. Mrs. Simmons and Mrs. Gatley are the heart of our school. They work so hard to take care of all of us everyday--they are not just secretaries. They are nurses, therapists, problem-solvers, teacher helpers, technology supporters, party planners, copy makers...they do all this and more. Above all, they are KIND and we know they love us. Those are the best kind of secretaries you could ask for in an elementary school. We are lucky to have them at Maple Ridge! We love you, Mrs. Gatley and Mrs. Simmons!

PTA sponsored Food Truck Night! Save the Date!
Maple Ridge fifth graders got to experience a fun science activity with USU 4H about what happens when spheres collide.
Mrs. Barlow's 2nd grade class recently finished the CKLA Human Body unit. At the beginning of the unit, the students make 'doctor name tags' and are told that this unit is similar to a "mini medical school" like what doctors learn. At the end of the unit, students take their unit assessment and then participate in a 'doctor graduation'. They 'scrub in' with gloves and a mask and put together their own stethoscope to keep. Then they walk across the front of the room and receive their mini medical school diploma. It is so fun to cheer for their classmates as everyone graduates!
A reminder that students will be dismissed at noon on Wednesday, March 18th.
Congratulations to these students for being our Students of the Month for February. They were recognized for being kind. We are proud of all of you. (Not pictured: Kylian Sievers, York Gonzalez, Michael Lords, Jordyn Turney)
Red Butte Garden at Maple Ridge Part 2: Our 1st-graders had a visit from Red Butte Garden! Students explored plant adaptations and observed different leaf features to predict which plants could survive in a desert habitat. They discovered that thick, fuzzy leaves help plants hold onto water and block some sunlight @redbuttegarden
Red Butte Gardens is one of our favorite outreach programs! Maple Ridge first graders have been so lucky to not only have them come 2 years in a row, but we’ve had them come twice this school year to teach two separate lessons. We have been able to be a training school for their instructors. They always do a phenomenal job and the students are so engaged. Recently we learned about how desert plants have adapted to survive in the extreme habitat. @redbuttegarden
Mrs. Williams' first graders recently learned how to use schoolAI and canva to complete their animal reports. They had to research an animal and create a digital graphic of its habitat as part of their CKLA Animal Habitats Unit. Seeing 6 and 7 year olds use these digital learning resources is so amazing! We love watching them learn and grow. @nebodtl
The 2nd grade classes have been learning about the human body during a recent unit in CKLA. We were lucky enough to have visitors come from the UVU nursing program! They taught students about healthy eating, germs and hygiene habits, making safe and healthy choices, having good routines and mental/social/emotional well being. It was so educational and the classes all had a blast!
