The Maples Academy PTA is excited to announce we are hosting a Spring Market on April 13th, 8am-1pm!

The vendors will rent a space which raises money for the school while all profits from the day's event are theirs to keep! In addition to these vendors, we will also hold raffles and silent auctions for which we are currently seeking donations from local businesses. If you are looking to donate, act as a vendor, or simply attend, it is sure to be a great day! This market will provide an opportunity to fundraise for the continued enrichment of our students' experiences and education at The Maples Academy and also engage with our local community.
