A Note from Mrs. Zellner and Mr. West
This week, the Niche report was released and we are happy to announce that Maple Dale is ranked the #1 public elementary school in Cincinnati and #5 public elementary school in the state of Ohio! Additionally, Sycamore was ranked the #1 school district in Cincinnati and the #2 district in Ohio! In addition to our amazing and talented staff, our families and community are also a large reason for this success, so thank you to all of your for your continued support and partnership!
We are so excited for Math Night next week on Thursday, October 6th, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm! Students, parents, siblings and other relatives are invited to attend a fun-filled evening of math fun. The intent of Family Math Night is to engage in various centers using math standards to strengthen the mathematical application, problem solving and communication skills of students through the power of family interaction. We encourage you to continue to support your child’s mathematical growth through your participation in Family Math Night.
Light refreshments will be served as well as the opportunity to win interactive family math games! A special guest will be reading two engaging books during the evening that will be raffled off. We hope to see you there!
Our one and only fundraiser of the year is off to an AMAZING start with over $10,000 raised already! Be sure to check out our Facebook page for the video updates, links, and more information. We are excited to earn some more prizes such as extra recess, extra inflatables for the Amazing Race Fun Run, and more!
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend,
Mindy and Keena

The Family Math Night activities are divided into five categories which are color-coded:

Parents, please stay with your child/children throughout the math evening. As a family of learners, circulate from one math station to another. Parents, please read the directions for each station. The directions are located on each table. Record the results for each activity in the math journal. Before leaving the station, please return the materials neatly.
6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
6:30 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. The books, The Wishing Club: A Story About Fractions and The Greedy Triangle will be read. Join us for a lively discussion about math. *Book raffle at the end of each session!

Hello,

Thank you for your continued support!

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. #NSLW22 will be celebrated October 10-14, 2022.
The theme this year is Peace, Love, and School Lunch! We will be celebrating in our cafeterias starting on Monday, October 10th. Keep an eye out for a few fun things going on this week!
Monday - Come through our lunch lines to see our “Celebrity Chefs”. We will have fun prizes, costumes, decorations, and music throughout the week.
