Greetings, Maple Dale Families!
It’s time for the Literati Book Fair to visit Maple Dale Elementary! During the week of February 13-17, the Media Center will be dedicated to bringing “new” books and children together. (No purchase necessary.)
Students will have 2 opportunities to attend the fair during the school week: Once to browse and later in the week to make purchases. Volunteer parents, as well as myself, will encourage good choices! You may also attend as a family, Thursday night, so you can help your children select the books he or she will enjoy reading at home. The average book price is $8.00. (The link below will show you all the titles available.)
Our Book Fair will be open for purchase: February 13-17 during the school day and Thursday evening, February 16, until 7:30 pm. The classroom schedule is on the back of this paper. Note the fun days near the top!
Cash, all major credit cards, and checks made out to Maple Dale will be accepted. Here is the link to buy gift certificates if you find that easier https://efairs.literati.com?school=maple-dale-elementary-school-cincinnati-oh or see the QR code below.
I am here to support you and your family as you establish a joyful, nurturing reading environment in your home. Please contact me if I can support your family in any way. smithni@sycamoreschools.org or 686-1700 ext. 132

Thursday, March 2nd will be Art Spirit Day. The theme is “Art Gallery Opening.” Students may dress as a famous artist (for example, Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, Vincent Van Gogh, Jean Michel Basquiat, etc.) or a famous artwork (for example, Mona Lisa, Starry Night, American Gothic, The Great Wave, The Scream, Girl with the Pearl Earring, etc.) You can also dress as our own unique artwork or as a quirky artistic individual. Be creative and we hope to see you and your family on Opening night, Friday, March 3rd, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. at Sycamore High School in the gymnasium for the Art Expo.
Ring in the new year with this year's best memories!
