Maple Grove Fox Report

February 5, 2024

Principal's Corner

It has been such a unique winter and it's hard to believe it is February already and we are in the 40's for our temperatures! This is perfect Maple Sap weather and our pipeline is already tapped and flowing! We are holding off on tapping our bags though as we do expect a cold spell yet before March and our trees with bags will dry up faster with change in weather. We love that our learners here get to experience this learning each year around the two different systems both gravity flow and the vacuum system.

Even though it is only February we have started taking applications for new learners for next year! Our charter school application and open enrollment application opened today, February 5, and goes through April 30, at 4:00 p.m. Please feel free to spread the word to any new families thinking of enrolling. If your child currently attends Maple Grove charter School they DO NOT need to fill out either of these forms again, as you automatically accepted for next year.

At the end of the year, learners have the opportunity to win a bike, sweatshirts, pizza party, and a ride in the fire truck.
