Congratulations to the Town of Hamburg and Maple Grove School!


Through the month of February, the 3rd grade students were challenged to fill their hearts with reading. The set goal was 5,000 minutes and together they surpassed that goal by reading 10,000 minutes for the month! Congratulations, and keep on reading! 🤩

Mrs. Haines and Ms. Borchardt’s classes enjoy the snow, but it made rolling the snow very challenging. That’s why many students just played on the hill. As March approaches and we celebrate Dr.Seuss and St. Patrick’s Day, our students are in for a few surprises!

Mrs. Wilker's English 11 students have just concluded giving their Heritage Speeches. As part of this project students were encouraged to talk with family members to find out information about how and when their ancestors arrived in America, why they came, and the heritage traditions that are still carried out in their family. Students have been very excited to share their speeches about what they learned. Here's just some examples of the visuals we got to see. Hopefully these projects have inspired some to keep closer records of their heritage for future generations.





There is always more than one way to solve a problem and these 3rd grade mathematicians demonstrated that! They each solved the same problem a little differently and deepened their understanding by sharing their thinking with the class! Continue to listen and learn from each other as you have so much to share! 🤩
