Yeehaw, MGCS! 🤠
We had so much fun at our Country Western Dance! Lots of dancing, laughs, and a little country flair.
Pretty sure we’ve got some future cowboys and cowgirls in our school! 💃🐄

We had such a great time at Maple Grove Charter School’s Community Pancake Breakfast!🥞☀️
Thank you to all the families and community members who came out to support our Little Red School. It was a beautiful day, and it means so much to see so many people come together.
We’re so grateful to the Maple Grove PTO and all of our volunteers—from parents to grandparents—who helped make the event run so smoothly. We truly couldn’t do it without you.
A big thank you as well to our behind-the-scenes crew for all the hard work cooking, and to our generous donors for everything from coffee and cheese curds to the raffle baskets. It all came together to make the day a success.

It’s spring clean-up time at MGCS! 🌱
Our Fox Dens came together for an hour of stewardship, putting our CRISP trait of Stewardship into action as we cared for the Maple Grove grounds. Students worked hard raking, leaf blowing, spreading dirt to fill winter holes, cleaning out garden beds, prepping for planting, and restocking rocks that had shifted out of place.
This hands-on effort reflects what stewardship looks like at MGCS—taking responsibility for our environment and working together to leave it better than we found it.
A big shout-out to our custodian, Mr. Langenhahn, for organizing this event. It was amazing to see everyone collaborating and accomplishing so much in such a short amount of time!

A huge THANK YOU to the Athens FFA Alumni for spending time with our 1st and 2nd grade learners at Maple Grove Charter School! 🌱
Your help planting portable window greenhouses created such a meaningful, hands-on learning experience. Opportunities like this are so valuable—agricultural education helps students understand where their food comes from and builds real-world knowledge through engaging, “learn by doing” experiences.
Our learners were filled with excitement as they planted seeds and began the journey of watching them grow into the beautiful flowers and nutritious vegetables we enjoy every day. 🌼🥕
Thank you for investing your time, knowledge, and passion into our students—we truly appreciate your support in helping these young minds grow! 💙

We were excited to welcome Alice in Dairyland to Maple Grove Charter School last week!
Through her Expedition Agriculture presentation, our learners explored the many sides of agriculture in Wisconsin—from the wide variety of careers available to the unique regions across our state. She also helped us understand why agriculture plays such an important role in Wisconsin’s economy and communities.
It was a fun, engaging, and educational experience for our students. Thank you, Sarah Hagenow the 78th Alice in Dairyland, for inspiring our learners and bringing agriculture to life!

This week at MGCS, something pretty special happened on our playground 💛
A few of our learners discovered a bird’s nest tucked inside our Whoville House. Instead of reacting with excitement alone, they paused and thought about what the momma bird might need most right now—peace and safety.
They came up with a plan.
The students asked if they could wrap the Whoville House in caution tape and make it temporarily off-limits so the bird could lay her eggs, care for them, and let them hatch without stress. Their goal? Protect the space until the nest is no longer needed.
This moment is a beautiful reflection of our CRISP traits in action:
🛠️ Craftsmanship – taking care to protect the space and do things the right way
🤝 Respect – honoring the needs of the bird and her space
💡 Integrity – choosing to do the right thing, even when no one’s making them
🤝 Stewardship – taking care of the world around them
🎯 Perseverance – sticking with the plan, even if it means waiting to play in Whoville
We’re proud of our learners for showing that leadership isn’t always loud—sometimes it looks like quiet care, thoughtful decisions, and a little yellow caution tape.

Our Maple Grove learners got to see the sweet rewards of their hard work today! 🍁
After collecting sap over the past few weeks, they watched it transform right before their eyes—from clear sap to rich, golden syrup in the open pan. The air was filled with that unmistakable sweet maple smell as they observed each stage of the process.
The best part? A taste test of the wood-fired syrup at the end… and it did not disappoint! 😋
They’ll get to enjoy the rest of their syrup on upcoming breakfast/lunch days—what a full-circle experience from tree to table.
Huge shoutout to Mr. Langenhahn and our amazing alumni who helped make this opportunity possible for our students. We are so grateful! 💛

We also want to congratulate the other wrestlers heading to state. Your hard work, perseverance and dedication have really paid off!
Our school celebrated with a fun send-off parade, and our learners did an amazing job using their craftsmanship making signs and cheering loud to wish them luck. It was such a great way to show our school spirit! 🎉
Good luck at state—we’re all cheering you on! 💪

The kindergarteners at Maple Grove were thrilled to welcome special guests Daniel and Karen Smith, owners of Herbal Soap 'N Salves! 🌿
Daniel shared a fascinating glimpse into his expertise, teaching students about different varieties of mint and how they’re used in both cooking and natural remedies.
We can’t wait to continue exploring the amazing uses of local plants! 🌱

We are very grateful to the Berlin-Hamburg Lions Club for their generous $1,000 donation to the staff at Maple Grove Charter School.
This time of year many classroom supplies start to run low, and this donation will help teachers replenish everyday items like Kleenex, Clorox wipes, glue sticks, and pencils so our learners have what they need through the rest of the school year.
The Berlin-Hamburg Lions Club works to raise funds that are given back to support the local community, and we truly appreciate their continued generosity. They are also always welcoming new members who are interested in serving the community.
Thank you for thinking of our school and supporting the work happening in our classrooms! 🦊📚
