Maple Place Middle School -1/12/24 - Week 18
Principal's Message :
Good Evening, Maple Place,
It was another very busy week at Maple Place. Tomorrow our 7th and 8th Grade Gifted and Talented Students will participate in the Future City Competition at Rutgers. We are wishing Mrs. Goldsmith and our students the best of luck.
As a reminder, school is closed on Monday, January 15th in honor and remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King left a legacy built on compassion, empathy, and kindness in his fight for equality. Take a moment this weekend to talk with your children about Dr. King's contributions to our world, and remind them of the values that made Dr. King such an important and valued person in our country's history!
Don't forget that the Maple Place Student Council is collecting full size soap bars in their original packaging to support S.A.C.K - Supporting A Community with Kindness. You can send in bars of soap until Friday, January 26th.
Also, please mark your calendar for our Dine to Donate night to support our eighth grade class of 2024. Monday, January 22nd is our first Dine to Donate night at Enzo's. Thank you for your anticipated support!
Wishing you a wonderful long weekend,
Melissa Keiser
