A note from Mrs. Zellner and Mr. West
Dear Maple Dale families,
We had so much fun with our Bengals spirit days and we are excited to have two more fun spirit days coming up next week!
We will celebrate "Twos-day" on Tuesday, 2/22/22! We encourage students to show their creativity by dressing in tutus, ties (bow ties or regular ties), or tennis shoes! Students can also wear two of anything - two shirts, two different color shoes, two ties, etc. We can't wait to see what ideas our students come up with!
Additionally, in honor of the 2022 Sycamore District Art Show opening February 25th - February 27th at Sycamore High School, we will have an Art Spirit Day here at Maple Dale Elementary! Thursday, February 24th will be Art Spirit Day and the theme is "Art Gallery Opening." Students may dress as a famous artist (for example, Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, Vincent Van Gogh, Jean Michel Basquiat, etc.) or a famous artwork (for example, Mona Lisa, Starry Night, American Gothic, The Great Wave, The Scream, Girl with the Pearl Earring, etc.) You can also dress in your own unique artwork or as a quirky artistic individual. Be creative and we hope to see you and your family opening night, Friday, February 25th 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Sycamore High School for the Sycamore District Art Show.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mindy and Keena
Fourth Grade Parents!

Fine Arts Weekend
The District Art Show is BACK for Sycamore’s Fine Arts Weekend! The show will be held at Sycamore High school, 7400 Cornell Road. Artwork from Sycamore students (K-12) will be showcased in the gymnasium. 150 Maple Dale Students will have artwork scattered throughout the gym marked with “RED” tags to help you locate them. Students have chosen to turn in artwork for the show and the 150 will be chosen through a lottery system so that is fair to all students. Along with these 150 student works the 4th graders who chose to have their clay dragon eye in the show will have a reserved table for their work. These dragon eyes do not count towards the 150 other artworks selected. Please come see the amazing Art, our Sycamore students have worked so hard to bring to life this year. The theme of the 2022 District Art show is “Still Thriving.”

Bottle Caps to Benches!
Our goal is to collect enough caps for a bench to install near our Gaga Pit along with an additional trash can. We are hoping to be able to get a rainbow color bench to remember our fun and successful Color Run from this fall! Please support this project by collecting caps and sending them to school! You can click here for acceptable caps as well as see the pictures below. Thank you to our wonderful PTO for helping to support this project as well.
