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 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! 🦊📚

What a perfect day for tapping trees at Maple Grove Charter School! ☀️🌳 The sap was flowing, the kids were curious (and taste testers got a sip straight from the tree 😄), and a huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers who made it happen. Craftsmanship, respect, integrity, and perseverance were on full display as our learners collected sap, asked thoughtful questions, and helped each other out. Since 1970, our community has kept this tradition alive — and today was pure maple magic. 🍁🦊 Muddy boots, curious minds, and hands-on learning at its best!

Learners at Maple Grove Charter School recently showed what stewardship and compassion look like in action! 🐾 Through a school-wide “Penny War for Puppies,” students collected spare change to support Wags of Wisconsin, a local dog rescue dedicated to helping dogs find forever homes. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our students and families, the school raised an amazing $950! These funds will help provide important medical care and daily essentials for dogs in the rescue’s care. A special shoutout goes to 3rd grade, who won the penny war by raising over $300- the most of any class! 🎉 We are so proud of our students for showing kindness, stewardship, and community spirit while helping animals in need. 🐶💙
