Student Activities

Science Fair
Full of investigations, examinations and experiments, Mapleton’s Science Fair is a great way for students to ask important questions and find exciting answers. Students are selected to compete in the District Science Fair based on school-level competitions.

2011 District Science Fair - Tuesday, Nov. 29, Skyview Cafeteria (8990 York St., Thornton)

2011 Winner: York International School 3rd grader Ted Espinosa, with “I want my Mummy!”

Spelling Bee
Held in February, the Spelling Bee is a great opportunity for students to exercise their lexicon. Schools host their own spelling bee or administer written-word tests to determine which students compete at the District-level. The District Spelling Bee begins with a 50-word written exam that is graded while students share dinner and dessert. The 20 students with the highest score on the written exam move on to compete in the oral competition.

Students may prepare for the Spelling Bee by visiting the following sites: www.spellingbee.com, or http://www.word-buff.com/spelling-bee-words.html
