Every week students are exploring a variety of academics, technology, and the arts. Please enjoy some of our favorite traditions and new traditions happening at Park Maitland School.

K5 Santa's Farm field trip this week was filled with so many memorable moments, and students enjoyed a variety of fun-filled activities during the day. "My favorite is when I fed the Bull, a male cow," Blair A. said. "Picking up pumpkins," Naya P. said. "The tube slides, they went fast!" Camille B. said. "Feeding the goats," Ginny P. said.

Please enjoy the video, created by Darby Ballard showcasing her adventures with K5 Green at Santa's Farm.

A big thank you to our guests this week!

K4's Maitland Fire Department field trip

Thank you to the Maitland Fire Department for stopping by to teach the importance of home smoke detectors and for the tour of their fire truck. K4 students were laughing as Freddy the fire truck squirted water at them.

In Ms. Keckley's class, students read mystery books and then created a “case file” with evidence and a picture of the crime scene. The solution to the case was summarized in the “case closed” envelope.
