Service Week Donations
Nov 10–14, students can earn “service bucks” by doing service activities during lunch and spend them at a Service Store for fun prizes! We need donations of small treats, trinkets, crafts, or drinks to stock the store. The more prizes we have, the more service gets done! All items can be dropped off at the front desk. Let us know if you will be donating anything by filling out this form: Service Week Donations
Order Your Student’s 2025–26 Maeser Yearbook
Each school year at Maeser brings new growth, friendships, and accomplishments worth remembering. A yearbook ensures your student has a lasting keepsake of this chapter of their life.
Ordering early guarantees availability and locks in the current price. Yearbook pricing increases later in the year.
