A Note from Mrs. Zellner and Mr. West
Happy March! This year is flying by so quickly and it will be 4th quarter soon! This weekend is the Fine Arts Weekend at Sycamore High School and we will have many Maple Dalians' artwork displayed there. Saturday morning is Pancake Day if you want to make a morning out of it!
I would like to remind our families who utilize the car rider line to please be mindful that we have other families and students that use the crosswalk near the circle so please be vigilant when in your car. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!
We are excited to have James Wilson, aka Nati Ninja, visit Maple Dale next week! He will set up an obstacle "Ninja Warrior" style course in the gym that all students will get to participate in during their PE time. Please email Mrs. Zellner if you would like your child to opt out of this event.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mindy and Keena

The students will have a chance to enjoy different obstacle courses designed by Nati Ninja during the week of March 6-10. Nati Ninja will make surprise appearances throughout the week so stay tuned!

Perseverance
Everyone will face challenges at some point—even our kids. Having
perseverance means never giving up. It’s not being stopped by a bad outcome
or difficult task, but always moving forward. Teaching our children to be
perseverant, even at a young age, will help them grow into successful adults.
Ring in the new year with this year's best memories!
