Dear Families,
What an amazing way to close the book of 2017 - between field trips, storytelling, potlucks, plays, caroling, instrumental concerts, baking, eating, card making, candle making, gift wrapping…
All of our hearts are full.
Thank you for your gifts.
Thank you for your support in the classroom and school-wide.
Thank you for your hugs and words of kindness.
Thank you for your children!
We all wish you holidays filled with meaning, love, light, peace, depth, laughter, delicious food, and physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health.
We look forward to seeing you in 2018!
Warmly,
The Entire Maple Village School Faculty and Staff (some of us pictured below at our holiday party!)

- First sign up for an account with shopwithscrip.com and sign up for Presto Pay electronic payments. Select Maple Village as your recipient organization.

Be sure to sign up for the E-scrip website and register your credit cards.
In addition to smile.amazon.com, online shopping through the e-scrip portal on escrip.com earns scrip for Maple Village. After signing up and choosing Maple Village as your target organization, just click on “Shops” after signing in, search for a favorite retailer, and click on that retailer’s icon to earn scrip while shopping.
