Our latest Maplewood High School newsletter is here, filled with holiday fun, important December events, a student club spotlight, teacher feature, festive crafts and recipes, and a look back at some of our favorite moments of 2025!
Mrs. Krieg's Kindergarten class had an exciting week comparing and contrasting different versions of the classic story Stone Soup. Today, they wrapped up their lesson by making their very own batch of soup to enjoy!
Each student brought in an ingredient and helped build the recipe… and yes, they even added a real stone! The final result was absolutely delicious — earning two thumbs up from every Rocket!
Our first graders had a wonderful time celebrating together at their Thanksgiving Feast! Their smiles say it all
Thank you to Dinesol Plastics for opening their doors and inspiring our future innovators! 🚀🧪🔧
Miss Klase’s kindergarteners had a blast exploring the magic of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! After reading Balloons Over Broadway and watching highlights from the parade, our young learners designed and created their very own parade balloons.
MES is making sure these turkeys stay safe this Thanksgiving! 🦃🛡️
No turkeys to see here…
A big shoutout to our Pep Club and Advisor, Mr. Collins, for organizing this fun event during lunches. Congratulations to all of our Rocket champions!
