From Maplewood Middle School:
Dear MMS Families:
I am happy to announce
that Maplewood Middle School was awarded a $2,000 Sustainable Jersey
Small Grant funded by the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA)!
Sustainable Jersey for school advances and supports sustainable
practices in schools and prepares the next generation of children to
address sustainability issues. The MMS PBIS/School Culture committee
will be utilizing the grant funds to build relationships with our
neediest students through a mentoring initiative. Please congratulate
MMS Team Leader and Special Education teacher, Ms. Ryann Varney, and
Assistant Principal, Mr. Marc Gold, for leading this effort. Our next
step is to apply for a $10,000 grant this spring to build a community
garden.
Starting today, MMS will be flying EPA Air Flags on
school grounds. The Air Quality Flag Program alerts our community of the
local outside air quality forecast and helps our community take actions
to protect people’s health, including those with asthma. Here’s how it
works: Each day our school raises a flag to correspond to how clean or
polluted the air is. The color of the Flag matches EPA’s outside Air
Quality Index (AQI): green, yellow, orange, red, and purple. For more
