Visit the School School Page
Maxwell School Elementary School is larger on the inside than the outside. The vast maze of hallways and classrooms is divided into two wings, the North Wing where students attend classes and the South Wing, the Unknown Zone, that is off limits to everyone. Rumors abound about this forbidden wing, especially about Classroom One, said to grant the one true wish, the inner most desire, of anyone who steps inside.

He's about the size of my fist and lives at the end of my arm.
He speaks with a strange accent, and specializes in reciting
non-sense poetry, especially mine.
Wilsons Ahoy
Hear the song Wilsons Ahoy!
lyrics
(from The Elevator Family Sets Sail)Wilsons Ahoy
Verse One:
We're living afloat in our cozy small boat.
Sailing toward the setting sun.
All day we'll play the rich folk's way,
And have some nautical fun.
Chorus:
Say ahoy to the gulls and buoys.
We will wave to every wave.
Across the sea Wilson family,
In the good ship Otis 3.
Verse Two:
With bellowing sails and bellowing whales,
Fair or foul whatever the weather,
We will go where the trade winds blow,
As long as we're together.
Chorus:
🎼Listen to Wilsons Ahoy!
The Substitute of Last Resort
Class out of control? Will no regular substitute dare enter the fourth-grade classroom? It's time to press the red button under the office clock to summon Miss Subway, the substitute of last resort.

"Beneath its blissfully buoyant surface, The Elevator Family has something important to say about the effect of one family on the world and vice versa. But that theme never overwhelms the gentle humor."
Margaret Quamme, The Columbus Dispatch
"A delightful surprise... In an age where we are taught to be suspicious, The Elevator Family may be a nod to a simpler time. But it's a nice reminder that if we took to the time to get to know the people swirling around us, we'd likely find a lot of good."
Dennis Thompson, Theatre Roundtable of Central Ohio

Irene, Tetherball Queen
Irene, Tetherball Queen
Like a nimble ballerina,
She'll rise onto her toes.
To swat the orb into orbit;
Around the pole it goes.
We surround the white ring,
Watching the yellow sphere.
The ball and string it's tethered to,
Like magic disappear.
She's the best kid at this game,
Our playground's ever seen.
No one in school can put her out,
Irene, Tetherball Queen.
She's neither strong or very long,
Sweet timing is her skill.
She picks her hits and knows the tricks,
To help her make a kill.
Way high and fast, the ball blows past.
She never let's it stop.
When the rope winds, the T-pole finds,
A turban at the top.
Won't make a lick of difference,
When she becomes a teen.
For now may she enjoy her rein,
Irene,Tetherball Queen.

Oyster Stew
I, said the oyster, would rather stew in my stew,
Than ever swim off to London with you.
I am, said the clam, content in my bed,
And we'll see when we're old who comes out ahead.

NASA asks the Wilson family to stay for six months at the Mars Research Station in the Mojave Desert and simulate living on the red planet to see how well a family can work together in a small confined environment. No sweat for this tight-knit family.

Limerick
SpriteThere was a third-grader named Sprite,
Who kept her lips glossy and bright.
When she reached for chap stick,
A glue stick she did pick,
Now her two lips are sealed up tight.

They perch on the streetlight at the corner of College and Ashby.
Estelle is polite and tidy. Del puts the "pig" in pigeon.
Somehow these birds manage to get along.
