Volunteers STILL Needed for Milers!
Maple Dale Milers Spring session has begun. We are still in need of volunteers on Wednesdays to help run this wonderful program! The Milers program helps students stay healthy and have fun at the same time by participating in this recess walking program. We will need four volunteers during 1st shift (1st & 2nd grade) and three volunteers 2nd shift( 4th & 3rd) to help set up, monitor the kids, and complete minimal paperwork to record the miles. It is a great way to see your children during the school day. Please click link to sign up. Maple Dale Milers Volunteer Sign Up Spring 2018
Summer Bridge Program Info Kit
Parents,
Each summer, several parents ask me about what to use when working with their child to sharpen skills over the summer months.
There are online tools available to our Maple Dale students such as Raz Kids and Compass Learning throughout the summer.
Another more "portable" option is a workbook. One I recommend is Summer Bridge. I know we get one each summer and my daughter Caroline has a "school" time each day. She is motivated to finish her bridge book before school begins and we reward her efforts with a special outing of her choice at the end of the summer.
The order form below offers the books to you at a reduced cost. The online ordering form will allow you to order online and have the book shipped directly to your home. Maple Dale is not making a profit on these materials, simply offering them to you as an affordable option.
Summer will be here before we know it!
Regards,
Ann Marie Reinke
Parents will visit our dedicated ordering website for this option and order online ( www.SummerBridgeDirect.com ). They will need to use the school code: “MAPLE”
We then ship the books directly to their homes.
Most orders ship within 24 hours and they will receive a confirmation email from us with post office tracking #’s.
Get Ready to R...E...A...D!!!
One Book, One School is back, and book lovers at Maple Dale have selected PIE by acclaimed author, Sarah Weeks! With a pinch of mystery and one heaping tablespoon of humor, this novel has all the ingredients that will make your family want to keep turning the pages!
In PIE, the plot is baked to perfection. You’ll meet Alice’s Aunt Polly who has a talent for pie making. The entire city is in love with her famous pies. When Aunt Polly dies, her own family is surprised when she leaves her prize-winning pie crust recipe to her remarkably disagreeable cat, Lardo. Everyone in town is eager to win the next pie making contest. Will they go too far to find out Aunt Polly’s secret recipe? Sarah Weeks has definitely baked up a sweet and satisfying delight. You’ll surely enjoy every last bite!
Thanks to support from our PTO, each family will be receiving a copy of this book to keep forever. Please see the pacing guide so that you know what pages to read at home as a family throughout the months of March and April. Each week at school starting this Friday, students will have the opportunity to earn prizes by answering trivia questions based on the previous week’s reading.
You probably can’t wait to get started! Maple Dale’s One Book, One School Kick off assembly was Wednesday, March 14th, and your family’s book was sent home with your oldest Maple Dale child. Be ready...your child/children will be eager to share this reading experience with friends and family! Carve out some time in your evening each night to join us in promoting the love of reading!

Maple Dale Book Swap- May 14,2018
Hello,
Save a little of your volunteer spirit for the last month of the school year. May 14th is going to be the Annual Maple Dale Book Swap. This is a wonderful Maple Dale tradition!! Last year we had a record number of donated books, each student took home 2-3 books! We also were able to give several hundred leftover books to the Maple Dale and Winton Woods Academy teachers! Please see below for more details and consider helping us this year!!
Maple Dale Elementary students are invited to participate in a Book Swap on May 14, 2018. Bring in your gently used books and trade them in for “new to you” books to read!
Here’s how the Book Swap will work:
From April 30 to May 11 Students may bring in any ‘gently used’ books to their classroom for donation. We will be collecting (Kindergarten through 4th grade appropriate) books brought in by each student.
May 14th Students will be invited to visit the Book Swap tables and select a book of their choice. The number of books students will be allowed to select will be based on the number of books that are donated in total. The more books we get, the more books students will be allowed to take home! However, if a student is unable to donate a book they will still be able to choose a book on the day of the Book Swap.

Lost & Found
Parents,
We have a good amount of items in our lost and found. You may want to have a look through the items before spring break, at which time, if things are still left in the lost and found, they will be donated to Matthew 25.
We recommend you put your student's name on the following items to avoid them being put in the lost and found:
coats
shoes
water bottles
lunch boxes
anything of importance or value
We try really hard to return items back to their owners, however, a name on the item would make it so much easier.
Thank you for your cooperation.
