Maple Monthly
March 2024
Note from Knight
Hello Families,
Even with March being a shorter month, we have had a lot of fun activities over the past few weeks.
We have had our Literacy and Spaghetti night, fundraisers at Jersey Mikes and Menchies, and the Emerald City Jaguars from Eugene led an assembly. Thank you for continuing to support our Maple Events!
Spring Break is a few days away and we hope everyone has a safe, relaxing week and are able to recharge and return for the remainder of the year.
Thank you,
Megan Knight, Principal
Menchie's Fundraiser Fun!

Our Literacy and Spaghetti Night was a hit! It was great to see so many families in the building, enjoying food, crafts and games. We raised over $800 from the raffle and had a very successful Book Fair. Special thanks to Julia Britton and Barbara Bradley for their organization of this great event.

Emerald City Jaguars Assembly
The Emerald City Jaguars joined us earlier this week for our first outdoor assembly. Coaches and players came to deliver the message to never give up on your dreams.
Parent Drop Off and Pick Up
Just a friendly reminder that to keep the drop off line moving, we ask that you do not get out of your car. If you would like to walk your student to the door, please park in our lot.
Additionally, when parking on J street we ask that you not block off any of our neighbors' driveways.
Thank you for helping our Drop off and Pick up times go safely and smoothly!
Healthy Moves
This is a 30-minute activity program that is done before school. A variety of physical activities includes a warm-up, cardiovascular activities, games, and a cool down/yoga stretch. Activities are adapted to be appropriate for each grade. This program is designed to stimulate physical activity for kids in grades kinder-to-5th, and this has the added benefit of preparing them to be able to focus better in the classroom.
- Healthy Moves Trainers will come to Maple at 7:45
- Beginning at 8:00, trainers will pull any student finished eating breakfast, or students who have already eaten at home to the gym to lead them in activity.
- There will be a cap of 80 students per day, no students brought after 8:15
- At 8:25 trainers will line up students by grade level and dismiss to class
Thank you Healthy Moves for continuing this program at Maple!
Walking School Bus
Maple Breakfast and Lunch
We are now offering 2 main choices for lunch and breakfast each day. As students walk through the line, they are able to make their choice. Students have been excited for this change!
Hours of Supervision
Morning Supervision begins at 8:00 each day. Please do not have your student arrive before that time.
Maple Family Center
Did you know Maple has a Family Resource Center? Our Family Center is located in our school right by the front office.
My name is Mrs. Bradley and I'm the Family Center Coordinator. I am here to help students and families so that ALL students feel supported and able to participate in school everyday. Some of the resources we have available at the school are food, clothing and basic toiletries.
Please stop by the front office and visit the Family Center if you would like to pick up some items. We also roll out our Community Cart every other Thursday after school. If you have any questions please feel free to visit the office or call the school at 541-744-6395.
** The Family Center is always looking for New or gently used, clean Tennis Shoes.
