For tonight, please follow the drop-off and pick-up traffic pattern shown on the attached map.
If you plan to park, use the road on the left before reaching the gym parking lot. Additional parking is available on the right after the turn. Staff will be outside with signs to help guide you.

If you are only dropping off or picking up, please remain in the designated route to keep traffic moving. This will help ensure the safety of all students.

Thank you for your cooperation—we’ll see you tonight!

The cardboard turtle took Hudson several months to complete. He had to cut a cardboard form, add ribbing, apply an outer cardboard shell, fill it with recycled paper, and apply many coats of paint. It is definitely something everyone has been excited to see in the hall.

It's beginning to look like spring in the Joppa Maple Grove halls. Kindergarten through sixth grade learned about the importance of hope while making paper butterflies. This was a project based on the national "Butterfly Project".

The sixth-grade students are doing a fantastic job using foil to create sculptures in the round armatures. The complete product will be wrapped in hard plaster coatings. The technique is versatile for building 3D human or animal figures. Even though this is the messiest project this year, it looks like it is a favorite. Check back next week for the final product.
