Students in our Intro to FCS class recently completed a 4-patch pillow project. During the project, students learned how to safely use a rotary cutter to cut fabric squares, thread and operate a sewing machine, and practice basic stitches.
Using these new skills, each student successfully created their own pillow. Great job to these students as they continue building hands-on sewing skills.
Inter-High Champs!! 🏆
We took 24 students to the Inter-High Day at MPCC. They participated in a variety of events, covering topics ranging from music and science to math and welding.
Along with placing 1st as a team, we also had a few individual winners:
Lexi Hagan, 1st Place in Medical Terminology
James Heinemann, 1st Place in Biology
Dylan Heinemann, 1st Place in CEO Challenge.
Congratulations!!
Students going to Inter-High Day: the vans will leave at 7:45 am. Please do not be late! Parents, if your student is wanting to drive separately, you need to email Mrs. Joedeman at jenni.joedeman@stapletonschools.org. Thank you!

Parent Teacher Conferences will be here before we know it!
We are gearing up for Read Across America next week! Here are the Dress Up Days for the Elementary Students.
This week we had a 6th grade student earn a RARE Award for having all 4 RARE characteristics. She has worked hard to earn these this year. We had a 3rd grade student earn a RARE Award for being Respectful. She consistently uses her manners. We also had a 2nd grade student earn a RARE Award for being respectful. He is respectful to adults, and his classmates. He does what he is asked to do quietly, quickly and respectfully. Great job to all of you!
We had an entire 2nd grade class earn RARE Awards due to working hard to score well on the MAPs test. Congrats 2nd grade!

Yesterday, our Fall Semester Honor Roll Students were celebrated with a tasty treat. Students in grades 7 - 12 that received all As and Bs on their semester report cards are eligible for the Honor Roll. Every year the National Honor Society plans some sort of fun activity for these hard-working kids. This year the idea of a fun breakfast was lobbied. The Booster Club answered the call in a really big way: with a beautiful buffet of breakfast burritos, waffles, cinnamon rolls, fruit, and juice. Students were taken downtown to the Community Center where they ate their fill, then played cards and games for a while before returning to their classes.
It turns out that working hard in school can pay off in a really delicious way!
