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.
5TH GRADE WINTER BALL
The big night had finally arrived, and our fifth graders were elegant, poised, and proud to showcase their impeccable manners. They beamed with joy as the entire class was on the dance floor. What a bonding experience!

We would like to thank the lovely Ms. Colleen Finwall, our 6th Grade Social Studies teacher for preparing our students for this event by teaching proper etiquette in Manners classes. Thank you, also, to Ms. leleen Rundgren, Business Manager, who was in charge of the dinner and dance theme and many of the other details. She has done an outstanding job making the “Ball” happen.

A special thank you to Cheryl Mumbert for photographing the event and the incredible photos she has provided for the 5th grade class. All photos are updated and ready to view on SmugMug.

THROWBACK EDITION
JFF EVENT
Amanda, from Finnegan's Irish Dance Academy, made an exclusive appearance for our JFF Event today. First graders and Super Seniors had a special surprise as the students celebrated Saint Patrick's Day.

Thank you Amanda for your help in making this a day the students will always remember! Also, a BIG thank you for the special appearances by our very own Park Maitland Alumni's Christian T., Tyler N., and Oliver J., dressed as leprechaun's for the event.
ONLINE ACADEMY
K - 4
Have you seen any leprechauns? K-4 students were excited to dress up in green and go on a scavenger hunt looking for those mischievous leprechauns! When they got back to their rooms, they realized the leprechauns had gotten there first! The classroom were in disarray with toilet paper hanging from the ceiling, chairs flipped upside down, glitter on the tables, and even the water in the toilets was green! What silly leprechauns!
