We want to continue to provide for our Maple school community members who are in need during the Holiday season. This year our annual canned food drive will be from October 19th through November 20th. There will be a donation bin outside of the front office each day from October 19th through November 20th where you can donate non-perishable canned food items which will then be used to provide holiday meals for Maple families in need. We appreciate your support and giving spirit! #MapleROARs
