A Note from Mrs. Zellner and Mr. West
Dear Maple Dale families,
Mr. West and I were able to meet with each grade level to kick off the school year, read a book called "Our School is a Family" together, and share this year's theme of "We are Maple Dale!" Each student and staff member plays a vital role in making Maple Dale the unique and special place it is. This theme also emphasizes the importance of acceptance and kindness. We are grateful for our families and their role in making Maple Dale such a special place. Together, we create an environment where diversity is respected and celebrated. Together, "We are Maple Dale," and together, we make it extraordinary!
We are so excited to kick off our annual Fun Run FUNdraiser! Please see the below information as well as check your child's backpack for more information coming home soon. The PTO and Maple Dale staff greatly appreciate the generous support from all of our families, whose active participation and contributions help make this even a success year after year. Thank you!
Have a great weekend,
Mindy and Keena

ALL PRO DAD
What is All Pro Dad? All Pro Dad is the fatherhood program of Family First, a national nonprofit organization based in Tampa, Florida. It was founded by Mark Merrill and former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy. The organization seeks to help every father become more engaged in the lives of their children. The goal is to enjoy breakfast with the dads and their children while encouraging conversations about important life topics. Please join other dads and parents at our Maple Dale chapter for a fun time of relationship building. There will be four chapter breakfast meetings this school year: 10/5, 1/25, 3/7, and 5/9.
Maple Dale students are invited to the Maple Dale Elementary All Pro Dads breakfast
on Thursday October 5th from 8am – 9am. This free breakfast (doughnuts, coffee, and
juice this month) is sponsored by the Maple Dale PTO. Please park at the District Office parking lot.

The October theme is CREATIVITY. When we’re creative, we use our imaginations and
talents to express ourselves, to come up with new ideas, and to make the world around
us more beautiful.
