Welcome to Maple Leaf Elementary – where every child matters, every day counts, and together, we thrive!

I’m excited to share the many wonderful events, activities, and field trips happening at Maple Leaf as we wrap up the school year!

Starting in May, we’ll be launching our One Book, One School program featuring The Lemonade War. We encourage you to talk with your student about the book and the fun activities that will go along with it.

Students will also be attending several field trips throughout May. Please be sure to sign and return the attached permission slips so your child can participate—students will not be able to attend without a signed slip. In addition, students must demonstrate safe, respectful, and responsible behavior to maintain the privilege of attending these trips. Please remind your student of these expectations.

Here’s what we have planned:

• 4th Grade: Field trips to the Holden Arboretum and the Cleveland Zoo.

• 5th Grade: Visits to the Holden Arboretum, United Skates of America, Music Express at the High School, and a Middle School tour.

We’ll also be celebrating our 5th graders as they prepare to transition to Middle School!

• 5th Grade Cookout: Monday, May 19th. Students are welcome to bring an unopened, store-bought snack to share.

• 5th Grade Promotion Ceremonies:

• Monday, May 2nd at 1:00 PM for Mrs. Balduff, Mrs. Bauman, Mrs. Hicks, and Miss Jones’ homerooms.

• Tuesday, May 3rd at 1:00 PM for Mrs. Koch, Mrs. LePelley, Mrs. Earl, Miss Curd, Mrs. Triezenberg, and Mrs. Puchmeyer’s homerooms.

•  

Our final PBIS celebration and Field Day will take place on Friday, May 30th. We’ll have bounce houses, games, and plenty of fun outdoors—please have students dress appropriately for the weather.

The last day of school for students is Wednesday, June 4th.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping make this a fantastic school year!
