A Note from Mrs. Zellner and Mr. West
Maple Dale and our PTO are so excited to kick off our one and only fundraiser of the year - our annual Fun Run! This year's theme is "The Amazing Race" and promises to be a lot of fun! The PTO uses this money to directly support our staff, bring various programming opportunities to our students, purchase different materials or resources for Maple Dale, etc. Some things our Fun Run fundraising efforts have been able to purchase in the past are our water bottle fillers, the Gaga pit on our playground, Cincinnati Children's Museum visits to Maple Dale, and so much more! Please see below as well as check your child's backpack for more information and the different ways that family and friends can donate to our incredible school.
Next week is Sycamore's Homecoming Week and the district is participating in a district-wide spirit week! We would love to have our students and families participate along with our staff in this fun and optional spirit week! The different spirit days are listed below.
As always, Maple Dale appreciates our family and community partnership so thank you to everyone for sharing your awesome kids with us each day!
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend,
Mindy and Keena

Partnering for Success!
On Thursday evening, October 6th, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m., Maple Dale Elementary will hold an exciting event called Family Math Night! Students, parents, siblings and other relatives are invited to attend a fun-filled evening of mathematical pleasure.
The intent of Family Math Night is to engage in various centers using math standards to strengthen the mathematical application, problem solving and communication skills of students through the power of family interaction. We encourage you to continue to support your child’s mathematical growth through your participation in Family Math Night.
Light refreshments will be served as well as the opportunity to win interactive family math games! A special guest will be reading two engaging books during the evening that will be raffled off. We are looking forward to seeing your family at Family Math Night!
Within the next couple of weeks, be on the lookout for more correspondence about Math Night, Math Spirit Week, and the agenda for this awesome venture!
If you have any questions email Mrs. Cooks, cooksc@sycamoreschools.org.
