MAPLEWOOD SPIRIT WEEK DIFFERENT THAN ON PRINTED CALENDAR!!
The correct days for "Maplewood Week" here at school are March 13 through the 16th! I made a mistake in approving the printing of the school calendar, and didn't change it to the one approved by our calendar committee. The brief summary of our events are:
Monday March 13 - "P.J. and Maplebars Day": Students and staff will be allowed to wear their pajamas that day, if they chose to; it will also be the traditional day that students/staff will be served a maple bar baked good.
Tuesday, March 14 - "Maplewood Day and Skate Night": Everyone is encouraged to wear clothing that displays Maplewood’s name on it (it can be hand designed as well as a commercially printed shirt, if you like). That night is also when Oaks Park roller skating rink is open to Maplewood families.
Wednesday, March 15 - "Hat Day": wear a hat to school!
Thursday, March 16 - "Green Day": wear something green!
Friday, March 17 - NO SCHOOL - Teacher Planning Day
AFTER SCHOOL ART CLASSES IN THE SPRING - My Masterpiece Studio, an after school, arts enrichment program with courses devoted to the importance of expression through exploration with different art mediums will be back this spring. Working with paint, printmaking, collage and ceramic techniques, students will focus on the work of Picasso and Matisse, two of the finest artists of the 20th century. Look for brochures with registration information in your child’s backpack. Sign up for all 8 classes by April 7th and receive a free art kit. mymasterpiecestudio@comcasata.net
FIELD DAY COORDINATOR NEEDED - For all of the new families at Maplewood, Field Day is a day of fun and games for all of the students at Maplewood. This year, Field Day is Tuesday, June 6th, and we are currently in need of a parent, or group of parents who are willing to decide on the games, get the items needed for the games, and assign volunteers to work each station. I have a file full of game ideas for the coordinator. Preparation for Field Day is easy...and it's a fun event to be a part of! If you are interested in coordinating Field Day, please contact Kimmy Nadeau at 503-245-9750 or kimmy@easystreet.com.
