There are many events being planned for April Hill Park and the Neighborhood in 2026
Show Your Maplewood Pride 🧡💙
Let’s fill the neighborhood with love for our school! Our double-sided 18″ x 24″ Maplewood yard signs are coming soon and include a metal stake for easy posting in your yard. Pre-order now to reserve yours.
Signs are $15, and you’re welcome to pay more if you’d like to further support our school.
Every sign helps fund school supplies, teacher appreciation, outdoor improvements, and programs that directly support our students and staff.
Limited quantity available — don’t miss out when they arrive in a few weeks!

Saturday April 25, 2026 9am – 1pm. Maplewood Elementary PTA is preparing for our annual native plant sale. We will also have some veggies, pots, baskets and baked goods! Sign up to volunteer or donate some baked goods: https://www.maplewoodpta.com/volunteer/.
Saturday, May 2nd, 2026, Maplewood Neighborhood Free Sale (Rain date is 5/9 – a decision on the rain date will be made on 4/30 by 12noon).
Join your friends and neighbors for our Maplewood Neighborhood Free Sale. It is pretty simple – place any items you wish to gift for free outside your home for others to take on Free Sale Day by 9:00am. Expect lots of foot and car traffic checking out your items!
If you wish to participate and gift items, add yourself to our google map:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1ph2Q4KBMuj8qREcpNdbWpluG7LGY8lY&usp=sharing
– click the link above
– add your address to the search bar
– click on the pin on the map where your house is and select “+ add to map.”
The fine print:
– I will share the map of participating homes on the local buy nothing page.
– Please clearly mark any table or item that is NOT free.
– It seems reasonable if you want to put out items you are also selling, like a garage sale, but you must have free items to be included on the map.
– Clean up your items at the end of the day! Please don’t leave piles outside beyond the sale day. You are responsible to take any items back inside your home.
Please contact Michelle Stevens at michelle@detailsarranged.com with any questions. Happy gifting!
