Sketching, painting, sculpting, designing, and coloring all took the day off. The Art studio had a new type of art, Culinary Art! Kindergarten, first and second grade turned heavy cream or milk into whipped cream and then BUTTER! The students were amazed at how easy and quick the process was! They made enough butter for the entire elementary school to enjoy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 💚🎄💛

This year, Joppa Maple Grove had a total of seven students participate in the 2025-26 school Google challenge. There were six third graders and one fourth grader. Congratulate them all on a job well done. Look for details about the winners in May. Five finalists will win a $10,000 college scholarship. In addition to the five finalists, the national winner's prize is a $45,000 college scholarship, and one school tech package in the amount of $50,000. Wish our students the best.
