The Baobab Trees are found in the Savanna and are known for their massive wide trunks. These 4-8th grade boys were given an engineering mission: build a mighty baobab trunk. They had 4 index cards and one 12 inch strip of tape. Once built, they tested the strength by stacking books on top. Great minds at work! The winning team stacked 33 books on top!
Summer school fun!
Layers of the desert floor with kindergartners! Desert turned dessert! Bedrock, squishy mud, sand- complete with a cactus 🌵
Creating either a new species with adaptations for a desert environment or making a shelter for animals in the desert. All discussed their plans and strategies and each one was a success!

Rainforest shelters : part 2
Kindergarteners building shelters for their rainforest animals on the ground - then we took them outside to "test" a rainstorm with spray bottles and water. Each animal stayed dry!! Each one has their own plan and strategy and as a group they come together with a plan! Maryetta Engineers at work!
4th and 5th grade boys went on a 10 minute nature walk to gather supplies and built their canopy bridges outside with what they found- the rainforest animal was the brick and we had mostly successes but certainly figured out how to fix the failed attempts. One bridge even held the students! Win win all while saving the rainforest ☺️
Rainforest week began yesterday with building bridges across rainforest "canopies" that will withstand the animals weight. Our shaving cream bottles were a perfect weight "rainforest animal" to prove a challenge. These 2nd graders knocked it out of the park even with one group utilizing tp rolls to provide supports under the bridges! Imagination and problem solving for the win!

Hey grownups! 🦁☀️
We hope your student’s summer is off to a ROAR-some start! This is just a friendly reminder that if your child is attending summer school, please make sure they bring a swimming suit, and a towel!
We can’t wait for all the fun zoo-themed summer adventures ahead! 🐒🦒
🎉 Project Complete at Maryetta Public School! 🎉
We are excited to announce that the playground improvements funded through the TSET Healthy Incentive Grant are officially complete!
With the support of @TSET, Maryetta students and our community kids now have access to additional playground opportunities including a new spinami and basket swing, along with the replacement of two slides on our existing playground structure to improve child safety and play experiences.
These upgrades provide our community with a safer, more engaging, and more inclusive outdoor environment that encourages physical activity, social interaction, and healthy lifestyles for years to come.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible and continues to support the students and families of Maryetta Public School! 🌟

We would like to congratulate one of Maryetta’s own 5th-grade teachers, Ms. Brooke Himrod!
Ms. Himrod was nominated and selected as a finalist for the Cherokee Nation Teacher of the Year. She was recognized for exemplifying an important Cherokee Nation value — responsibility in the classroom and beyond.
Ms. Himrod leads the after-school Cherokee Club, where she not only teaches students the Cherokee language but also shares the importance of Cherokee culture and traditions. She is also consistently attending Cherokee language classes outside of work to continue growing her own knowledge and understanding of the language and culture. Her dedication to her students and community makes us incredibly proud to have her as part of the Maryetta family.
Congratulations, Ms. Himrod! ❤️
