Weekly Wrap Up

Good Evening, Maple Place and Happy FriYAY!

It was another great week at Maple Place. Thank you to all who helped to support our 8th Grade Class of 2024 through our Dine to Donate night at Enzo's on Monday night. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

This week Maple Place participated in the Great Kindness Challenge. Mrs. Bonett put together a bulletin board in our cafeteria where students could choose random acts of kindness from the envelopes. Additionally, the PTO sponsored Tuesday's assembly with Lloyd Bachrach and his "Yes You Can" presentation. Students and staff alike were inspired by Mr. Bachrach's message. More information on the presentation can be found HERE. Thank you to the OP PTO for this wonderful experience for our students.

Tuesday was also a big day for Mr. DiTommaso and our Charger Band. The band spent the day at Shore Regional High School with members of the bands from Monmouth Beach, West Long Branch, and SRHS. Students rehearsed and had lunch together before returning back to school. Tuesday night, the students performed on stage at Shore Regional showcasing their individual bands as well as performing together under the direction of the high school band director. It was a great night of music!

Today was the last day of the 2nd Marking Period. Report cards will be available to parents next Friday, February 2nd at 4:00pm.

Have a great weekend,

Melissa Keiser
