A Note from Mrs. Zellner and Mr. West
Dear Maple Dale families,
As we approach the end of the school year, I wanted to send a friendly reminder that we have less than month left until the last day of school. It's incredible how quickly this year has flown by!
With this in mind, I encourage you to take note of any important dates and events in the coming weeks, including field day, the 4th grade celebration, and any other end-of-year activities. We will be providing more detailed information about these events soon.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your continued support and involvement at Maple Dale!

The May meeting theme is integrity.
Integrity
Having integrity means doing the right thing no matter what, both when we’re in front of other
people and when nobody knows we did it. Having integrity makes a person trustworthy. Integrity
is doing the right thing in any situation, no matter what. As we go through life, our integrity is going
to be tested. We must have integrity in order to be trustworthy. Integrity isn’t something you are
born with. It is cultivated.
