MAPLE CREATIVE WRITING CONTEST Dear Parents of 7th and 8th Grade Students, Maple School is fortunate to have so many enthusiastic student writers! We invite each 7th and 8th grade student to participate in our first Maple Mustang Creative Writing Contest by submitting a short story, memoir, and/or poem to their ELA teacher, following the parameters outlined here. All entries will be evaluated by a team of Maple teachers, following the rubric in the above attachment. Certificates will be awarded to the winners at the end-of-the year Awards Assembly. Students in 6th grade will continue to participate in the Letters About Literature contest. The Character Counts Committee has discontinued their essay contest, so we have taken the opportunity to provide a writing contest specifically for Maple 7th and 8th graders. We are very much looking forward to widespread participation and to reading a variety of short stories, memoirs and poems submitted by our talented Maple Mustangs. Warmly, The Maple ELA Department

A NOTE FROM SUMMER SCHOOL Thank you to the families who registered their children for D30 Summer School 2019! Our program filled up quicker than we anticipated, and we now have a waitlist. We appreciate your patience as we do our best to accommodate as many students and families as possible. If you are registered, you will be receiving updates about our program through your personal email. If you are not currently registered but would like to be added to the waitlist, you may do so by clicking here. Mrs. Eleni Lamson, D30 Summer School Principal [email protected]. (847)400-8931
SNOW/COLD DAY YEAR-END UPDATE ...For Now Thank you for your continued flexibility and support as we navigate another Chicago winter. I would like to share a few facts and changes regarding the end of this school year, knowing that the following information could change at any time. • Tuesday, May 28: Eighth-grade graduation scheduled at Glenbrook South High School and the last day
of attendance for eighth-graders • Thursday, May 30: Maple’s last day of student attendance because Maple’s construction project
requires District 30 to prepare for and maintain the demolition date of June 5 for the existing Maple School
• Friday, May 31: Wescott and Willowbrook’s last day of student attendance with closing ceremonies at the end of a full day of school
• Tuesday, June 4: Last day for staff attendance All public schools in Illinois are required to have 176 student-attendance days. • If our elementary students are in attendance without our middle school students, the day still counts as
an attendance day • Friday, May 31 represents District 30’s 177th student-attendance day • Our early-release School Improvement Days count as attendance days As it is only February with more winter ahead of us, please realize that the ending dates at our elementary schools could continue to shift. The middle school schedule is expected to remain as outlined above. Dr. Brian K. Wegley Superintendent of Schools

The 1 Mile Run (for kids) will take place at 9:00 am. To register: Register 2019 Lew Blond For 18 years, Northbrook/Glenview School District 30 has supported and hosted the Lew Blond Memorial 5K Run/Walk, 1 Mile Run fundraiser at Maple School. This family event honors Mr. Lew Blond, a former Maple School teacher who passed away from Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS). An exceptional and dedicated educator of the applied arts, he was revered and cherished by students, colleagues, and parents of the children he served. The Lew Blond Run is one of the top 40 races of its kind in Illinois and has become a fixture in the community. The 2018 event drew over 1,000 participants and volunteers. The race is organized by the Lew Blond Memorial 5K not-for-profit organization. It is a CARA Circuit registered/USATF certified race, drawing runners from as far as Wisconsin and Indiana. Proceeds from the Lew Blond Run are donated to the Les Turner ALS Foundation and used for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) research and the Stuart Rosen Transportation Fund. The race also supports special school projects, like the new Maple playground (maplePTO.org), and provides annual scholarships to graduating seniors and former Maple School students from Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South High Schools. For more information, go to lewblondrun.org and the Lew Blond Run’s Facebook page.
