We are getting closer to the end of the school year, but we have lots of things still to come in our Maple community. Please see below!A big congrats to our Track and Field Athletes who represented Maple well and came back with some fantastic results! Best of luck this week at the Championships!We also have our Ultimate Frisbee team going to a tournament this week as well!Clubs are also in full effect again this week. It's great to see so many students involved!Have a wonderful week! The Ecole Maple Team<hr><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" style="text-align: center;">The Strawberry Moon</h2>The Strawberry Moon is the name given to the full moon in June. It marks the time when wild strawberries are ready to be harvested. Strawberries are often referred to as the “heart berry,” symbolizing love, healing, and connection. The Strawberry Moon is also a time for reflection on relationships—with family, community, and the environment—and for renewing those connections with care and respect. In many teachings, the first strawberry of the season is tasted as a reminder to honour the sweetness of life and to give thanks for the gifts of the land.<img src="/images/7f076fe2-7bae-4997-b34e-31109c7ef6e0?fingerprint=ppb20260603150006" alt="Strawberry Moon" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"><hr><h2 class="editor-heading-h2"><img src="/images/35713335-a026-488c-919a-80a1d2204fb3?fingerprint=ppb20260522142018" alt="Jump Hope For Heart" width="197" height="140" style="width:197px;height:140px;display:inline-block;float:left">This is the Week For Jump Rope For Heart</h2>We are excited to share that our school will be participating in the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser! Our school’s goal this year is $1600 or for each student to raise or donate $2 to support this important cause. Every small contribution helps make a big difference. We are encouraging students to stay active, get moving, and build healthy habits while supporting a great cause. Our school will be having our jump rope for heart event on June 10th, and students who fundraise will have their names placed in a draw for prizes. If you wish to donate online, you can do so using the following link:<a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjumpropeforheart.crowdchange.ca%2F122163%3F_gl%3D1*1w3j9by*_gcl_au*NTA5MjMyODk4LjE3NzkyODU4MjQ.*_ga*MTk5NzE5MDExNC4xNzc5Mjg1ODI1*_ga_SZL9TXKY8W*czE3NzkyODU4MjQkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzkyODU4MjkkajU1JGwwJGgw&data=05%7C02%7Charperm%40limestone.on.ca%7C51394355a6374a9a646408deb8096cc7%7Ce1f4165febae4d82a73ca0de593830be%7C0%7C0%7C639150547783409076%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=PC6PRaJxhNoHPGBT6eqH5txNHRQMaV3USDRyoVFXqS8%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="Original URL: https://jumpropeforheart.crowdchange.ca/122163?_gl=1*1w3j9by*_gcl_au*NTA5MjMyODk4LjE3NzkyODU4MjQ.*_ga*MTk5NzE5MDExNC4xNzc5Mjg1ODI1*_ga_SZL9TXKY8W*czE3NzkyODU4MjQkbzEkZzEkdDE3NzkyODU4MjkkajU1JGwwJGgw.

About Our School

Bienvenue à École Maple Elementary School , home of the Majors. We are a Kindergarten to Grade 6 school offering French Immersion and English programming to students in Kingston East. Our three-storey school was opened in 2013 and includes more than 34 classrooms, a variety of special purpose and resource rooms, a library/makerspace and 6,000-square-foot gymnasium. Our school is equipped with shared technology in every classroom (iPads and Chromebooks), allowing access to all. Our building features green construction to reduce energy use and waste production. The overall environmental footprint is reduced due in part to high efficiency heating/cooling systems, low-flow water fixtures and other sustainable-focused improvements.
