Today was a special day for several of our published artists. Several students are photographed signing their published artwork in the school's copy of the book. A copy is on display in the library for anyone who would like to look at it. Congratulations to all the students whose artwork was featured.

Clara Taylor was this year’s recipient of the TJ’s Black Diamond Harley-Davidson Community College Scholarship! Clara is planning to attend Shawnee Community College this fall.
Congratulations, Clara! We are proud of you and wish you the very best in this next chapter 🎓

Joppa-Maple Grove is proud to support our Veterans through an upcoming Honor Flight, and we need your help!

We are asking students and families to create thank-you cards and letters to be given to Veterans during their trip. These messages are incredibly meaningful and often become a highlight of their experience.

Students may create:
✉️ Thank you for your service letters
🇺🇸 What a Veteran means to you
❤️ Patriotic messages of appreciation

Cards can be handmade, typed, or written—anything patriotic and heartfelt is welcome!

📅 Please send all cards to school by May 5th

Let’s come together to show our veterans how much they are appreciated for their service and sacrifice ❤️🤍💙

Two of our students recently had the incredible opportunity to attend a weekend leadership retreat at New Hope Camp with the local Rotary Club!

👏 Congratulations to Jaelyn Clark and Addison Miller for representing Joppa-Maple Grove! During the retreat, they explored what it truly means to be a leader and discovered the many different ways to lead and make a positive impact.
💚 A special shoutout to Jaelyn, who returned this year as a counselor, showing outstanding growth and leadership!
We are so proud of these young leaders and can’t wait to see all they accomplish! ✨
