Are You Moving?
As we plan for the 2008-09 school year, it is important we have accurate enrollment information. If you are moving or anticipate leaving the area, we would appreciate having that information. Please call the front office to let us know if your child will not be attending Maple Lawn next year.

Hoops/Jump Rope for Heart
This year the 2nd through 5th grade collected $1,869 for the American Heart Association. The students exercised, competed and played for three hours of fun and games on March 27. Fourth grader Hannah Marie Mitchell was the leading fundraiser with $215.  Mrs. Robinson's fourth grade class raised $518.  A special thanks to Mrs. Carrick for her assistance with this event.  Thank you to all parents who allowed their children to participate and collect donations for this worthy cause.

Are you teaching your child how to be respectful?
Being respectful is critical to success in school and life. This quiz might help you see if you are teaching your child respect. (Answer yes or no.)
___1. I model respectful behavior, such as listening patiently to my child.
___2. I teach polite responses such as “please,” “thank you” and “may I.”
___3. I don’t hit or shove my child. I don’t allow my child to hurt others.
___4. I show my child a more appropriate way to get what he/she wants by being courteous. “When you want to go to the park, ask nicely.”
___5. I give praise when my child is respectful. “Thank you for knocking before coming into my room.”

How did you do? Each yes answer means you are teaching your child how to be respectful. For each no answer, try the suggestions offered in the quiz.
