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.
Who is ready to go apple picking? Our fall weather is here, and our sweet K5 students enjoyed their time celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day. Students played games, such as "pin the apple", making necklaces, and creating their very own Johnny Appleseed hat. "My favorite part of the day was making necklaces." Maya Salicrup said. "My favorite was apple tasting!" Rachel Korenblit and Hudson Rabenovets said. There were so many varieties of apples that we had to ask our students which one was their favorite. They had a chance to try Red Delicious, Granny Smith and Golden Delicious. Yum!
