Everyone in the Village needs a Night Out!
Join us as we kick off this year’s Little Friends scholarship fundraiser, “It Takes A Village,” with a special Parents’ Night Out & Kids’ Movie Night at Maple Street School! While grown-ups enjoy a well-deserved evening to themselves, children will cozy up at school to watch Winnie the Pooh with their friends.
A portion of the proceeds from this event will go directly to the Little Friends scholarship fund, helping us reach our $45,000 goal so more families can be part of our Maple Street community. It truly takes a village to make this school what it is—we hope you’ll join us in celebrating, connecting, and giving together.

Auction
5 / 1 - 6 / 13
At the close of every school year, we hold an auction event to bring our community together, honor the wonderful year we’ve just had, and to prepare for our upcoming year. The auction is one of the key ways we keep Maple Street a place where families from all economic backgrounds can play.
All proceeds of this auction will go to helping Maple Street meet its funding goals so that we can continue to support fair pay and benefits for teachers and staff, offer scholarships, and ensure a level of sustainable reserves for future viability. We hope you will help contribute to an auction as unique, creative, and diverse as all the children at our beloved Maple Street!

Share The Love!
We know MSS families love Maple Street, and each family has a story about what makes MSS special to them. There is so much magic at MSS, it cannot be captured in one short statement. Thank you so much for helping us show our love of Maple Street School!
Please take a moment to review Maple Street School on Google Maps!
Reviews are crucial for our local school as they build trust, showcase the quality of education, and help bring in new students by highlighting positive experiences from parents and the community.
Ideas to include: Skills your child has learned at MSS, support you have received, confidence in your child's development (assessments), and moments from your child's classroom and teachers.
If you’re a member of any other review communities, please review us there too!
For example:
Maple Street In the Wild
We Love to see Maple Street Families out in our community. Whether it’s a school event, or a spontaneous meetup at the library, take a picture with your fellow Maple Street Members, and send it to Maple Street School. We’ll share it on our instaram or feature it on our website!
