We had 2 fifth grade students and a kindergartner also earn RARE Awards this week. The first young man earned his RARE Award for asking for his assignments and completing his work in a timely manner when he is absent. He is Accountable. The young lady earned her's for cleaning tables and putting up chairs without being asked. She is Respectful. The last young man to earn a RARE Award this week is also Accountable. He consistently studies his sight words and always does his best work in class. Awesome job Stapleton students!!!!

This week we had several students from Mrs. Klosen's class who earned RARE Awards. The fist was a young lady that is accountable for her actions. The second is a young man who read and completed the directions correctly. The 3rd student earned his for being polite and respectful. The fourth also read and completed his directions correctly. The last young man to earn RARE Awards earned 2. He is consistently kind and reads and follows directions. Great job 1st Grade.

LET'S GO MAVERICKS!!!

We had a group of students who helped Mrs. Isom clean tar off of the playground equipment during their recess one day so the preschool and kinder students could use it again. They all have RARE Character!

This week we have had a plethora of RARE Awards earned. We had a second grade student earn an Award for being Empathetic during PE when they had a sub. He helped his classmates and worked well on a team. A young man from 4th grade earned two RARE Awards this week for being Empathetic. Mrs. Cox gave him the Award for carrying a preschool student's backpack and walking the preschool student to the bus after school. The second award for Empathy was from Mr. Regier who was the morning bus driver. He stated that this young man helped a kindergarten student who had fallen asleep on the bus get his things and get into the school. We also have a kindergarten student who consistently shows respect in and out of the classroom by following directions and treats others how he wants to be treated. Great job boys!

Sleigh races!

Yesterday we played some games and celebrated our Speech and FFA students accomplishments as they prepare to head to State Competition this week. 🥇

This month our book club read "Enchanted Kingdom" by Tricia Wentworth, and as a very special treat, Tricia joined us for our discussion!!! It was wonderful for the students to hear straight from the source what life can look like as a modern-day author. They heard about the writing process, publishing, cover design, and so much more. Thank you, Tricia, for coming to spend the day with us!
