Student Raises Money for Maple Hills
Student Raises Money for Maple Hills

Over the summer, one Maple Hills student decided he wanted to do something special to help his school. Kai, a second-grader this year, held a garage sale and fresh lemonade stand with the goal of raising $500. He sold his old toys, books, and out-grown clothes, even his bouncy house! Kai said he wanted to do this "because we need cool things like supplies, field trips, or maybe just more pizza." Kai's mom said he was "super excited to hand over the money he raised for Maple Hills, and is so proud he reached his goal." 

Thank you, Kai, for going above and beyond to make Maple Hills amazing! What an outstanding Eagle you are!

Meet Principal JoEllen Tapper

Hi, Eagle families! One thing I love about being a principal is walking around the building and visiting classrooms. My absolute favorite is when I get to read a story to the students! A few fun facts about me: I particularly enjoy the children’s book called “The Book With No Pictures.” I would love to live on a sailboat and sail around the oceans to see whales, dolphins and all sea creatures! When I was in high school, I played the piccolo in the marching band.
