Maple Grove Families,
We’ve had several issues recently with toys—especially the small toys and keychain-style items that attach to backpacks—going missing during the school day. To help prevent lost items and keep students focused on learning, we are asking that all toys stay at home.

Thank you for your support in helping us keep our school environment calm, safe, and distraction-free!

On Friday, December 19, students will rotate through winter party stations in the gym, and I’m looking for a few volunteers to help run them. The activities are simple, and students will already know what to do.

If you’d like to help, please sign up using the link below. You can choose a time when your child’s class is participating if you’d like.

Thank you!
Coach B
