WALKING WEDNESDAY IS TOMORROW  |
PICTURES & NEWS  4-6 MEGA DANCE PICTURES. There were hundreds taken and mostly at the photo booth. More will be added to the upcoming announcements. Other photos of the event that were taken by teachers can be shared with Mr. Craib for posting in the announcements. mcraib@maplerun.org. Thank you. Link to 1/3 of the Photo Booth Pictures. DISCOVERY - BIKING P.E. - JARVIS & ANDREWS Over the next few weeks, many groups of students will be heading out for short rides on either the School's bikes and those shared with us by Local Motion. Interestingly, fewer students than ever are riding bikes at home these days which means that riding bikes at school gives students a chance to improve their skills or learn how to bike for the first time. The sixth graders will use their skills on a rail trail bike trip on June 12th. The students in the pictures here are all from Team Discovery. Link to 45 Photos.   WATER BOTTLE WALKING WEDNESDAY RAFFLE WINNERS There were three winners from last week's Walking Wednesday: an 8th Grader on Team USA, a 3rd grader from Team Imagination and a kindergartener from Dreamers. There are more Walking Wednesdays left for you to participate in. Perhaps you will win a water bottle if you do.    |

LIBRARY
May is Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month! This month celebrates the unique journey of all AAPI immigrants and citizens in the United States and their unique life experiences, traditions and cultures. Look for these books in our library to help you honor and celebrate the historical and cultural contributions of individuals and groups of Asian and Pacific Islander descent.  Reha feels torn between two worlds: school, where she’s the only Indian American student, and home, with her family’s traditions and holidays. But Reha’s parents don’t understand why she’s conflicted—they only notice when Reha doesn’t meet their strict expectations. Reha feels disconnected from her mother, or Amma. Although their names are linked—Reha means “star” and Punam means “moon”—they are a universe apart. Then Reha finds out that her Amma is sick. Really sick. Reha, who dreams of becoming a doctor even though she can’t stomach the sight of blood, is determined to make her Amma well again. She’ll be the perfect daughter, if it means saving her Amma’s life. From Indies Introduce author Rajani LaRocca comes a radiant story about the ties that bind and how to go on in the face of unthinkable loss. This is the perfect next read for fans of Jasmine Warga and Thanhhà Lại.  DRAWING FROM MEMORY is Allen Say's own story of his path to becoming the renowned artist he is today. Shunned by his father, who didn't understand his son's artistic leanings, Allen was embraced by Noro Shinpei, Japan's leading cartoonist and the man he came to love as his "spiritual father." As WWII raged, Allen was further inspired to consider questions of his own heritage and the motivations of those around him. He worked hard in rigorous drawing classes, studied, trained--and ultimately came to understand who he really is. |
