Maple Avenue’s Show Chorus members displayed
their talents on Tuesday evening at Goffstown
High School as they presented the show, “Disney
of Tomorrow.” The children performed a variety
of Disney songs incorporating ballet, tap, and jazz
dancing. Everyone did a fabulous job and the
audience was treated to a wonderful show. Special
thanks to our music teacher, Derrick Landano,
and fourth grade teachers Amy Goudreau, Ericka
Swett, and Peggy Zola for all their hard work
helping the students present this show.

The volunteers help our school
community in many ways. They
help chaperone our school field
trips to different places. The
volunteers serve us popcorn for
our snack. Our parents help print
work for the teachers and us so
we can continue our lessons.
Parents volunteer every year to
work at Spring Fling. They
volunteer to do PFT work. They
also volunteer to organize the
Father/Daughter Ball and
Mother/Son Tubing. Volunteers
help us every year to make our
community a better place.

SECOND STEP THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK
RESPECT RESPONSIBILITY SAFETY
Jessica Miller (Ms. Anifant’s Class) – “Please do not pull people’s hair.”
Addisyn Normand (Mrs. Brown’s Class) – “If someone is on the playground and has no
one to play with, you should play with them.”
Delaney Yerxa (Ms. Pinard’s Class) – “If you are walking in the hallway, walk safely and
quietly. If you are walking and talking, it is not fair to the kids that are working or testing.”
Ava Ruggiero (Mrs. Zola and Ms. Goudreau’s Class) – “Treat others the way you want to be treated. For
example, if someone pushes you down, don’t push them back.”
Reminder: Friday, APRIL 17, 2015

support for children who have family
