A note from the Art Teacher!

As you are ordering things this spring season could you please send all bubble mailers, especially the blue and white amazon ones to school with your child for the art room? We are collecting them to send home our ceramic creations safely. Thank you so much,

A Note from Nurse Jeannie
MGES Kindness Club
Our first service project was raising money for Magdalene. She is one of the Comfort Dogs that came to Maple Glen in Feb to help comfort our staff and students after a tragic loss of a student. The Kindness Club sold "Choose Kindness" T-shirts to the staff of Maple Glen. We were able to raise $300 for that amazing organization. (I attached a picture for you).
Our second service project was AMAZING! Each Kindness Club member was paired with a resident at Copper Trace Senior Living Facility to be Pen Pals. The club wrote letters back and forth with them throughout the six weeks. It was great to get to know them. On Sunday (3/24) the Kindness Club met at Copper Trace for an Ice Cream Social and were able to meet their Pen Pals.
Chess at Maple Glen
A new session of Chess with Learning through Games will be starting soon. Please see the attached flyer to sign up.
**This club is run by an outside organization. Any questions should be directed to Learning through Games.

We allow 5 visitors per grade level lunch. Please use one slot per person signing up. Due to limited space, visitors will be sitting with their child(ren) at their classroom tables. You have the option of bringing in a home packed lunch or purchasing a lunch at school. No fast food will be allowed at this time. Lunch menus can be found here. The price of an adult lunch is $4.80.

Attendance
Please do this even if you let your child's classroom teacher know about the absence. This will ensure that our attendance secretary receives the information.
Dismissal Changes
If you have a dismissal change, please let the front office know by 1:00pm. This gives the office enough time to notify your child is where they’re supposed to be at the end of the day! Please DO NOT leave dismissal changes on the attendance line.
