Hola! Bonjour! Today starts world language week. We will be sharing the top five reasons to learn a new language with you all week.  

 Did you know that learning another language will improve your academic performance across all subject areas?  

This is because it enhances brain functions like memory skills, and multi-tasking is even connected to higher SAT scores!  

 Que tengas buen día! Bon Journee! 

Our first ever Maple Coding Challenge starts today! One winning house and grade level will get a pizza party for the highest completion average of the upcoming four coding challenges! Each week’s challenge will be different during the month of March, and during flex, teachers will show you a video on how to participate. Good luck Maple, and happy coding!
