Art Spirit Day- Thursday, March 2, 2023
In honor of the 2023 District Art Show opening March 3rd - March 5th at Sycamore High School, we are having an Art Spirit Day here at Maple Dale Elementary. Thursday, March 2nd will be Art Spirit Day. 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 as our own unique artwork or as a quirky artistic individual. Be creative and we hope to see you and your family on Opening night, Friday, March 3rd, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Sycamore High School in the gymnasium for the Art Expo.
Nati Ninja Week
James Wilson, Nati Ninja, will be returning to Maple Dale during another exciting week of obstacles in gym class. He did awesome last year in competition, making it all the way to the semi-finals in Season 14 of American Ninja Warrior, and will be competing again this Spring in Season 15! 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! If you would like to volunteer to help assist in gym please click on the link below. You will need to know which “house” your child is in to be sure you pick the correct day. If you would prefer your child does NOT participate in these activities during gym please email Mrs. Zellner at zellnerm@sycamoreschools.org. Thank you!

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!
