Congrats to Head Basketball Coach Bo McVay on his 12th career win last Friday evening at Anselmo-Merna. Coach McVay does so much for our kids, staff and community. A dozen wins equals a dozen cans of caffeine and a dirty dozen donut holes! We are so grateful for him and wish him and the boys continued success this season! Go Mavericks!

We are in the holiday spirit at Stapleton Elementary. The students have a calendar of dress up days that leads to the Christmas holiday. They and their teachers have been doing a great job. I have pictures of a few of the classes in their outfits for the day. They have to dress up as everything from a snowman to a candy cane. They are doing Fabulous!
Come out and support the Senior Class... and go home with all sorts of goodies!!!

Today we had 2 young men earn RARE awards. These 2 have done a fantastic job with following directions and following directions this last week. I am so proud of both of them and so are their teachers, Ms. January and Mrs. Schaeffer.
Mrs. Joedeman's 3rd floor December bulletin board has prompted some lively hallway discussions. Secondary staff and students were asked to nominate their favorite holiday movies. Nominations were tallied, then seeded into a 16 "team" bracket. Now, each head-to-head match-up will be voted on by the staff and students. Round 1 is being voted on today, and every few days we will vote on the next round, narrowing the field of competitors and eventually crowning the champion. Who would you vote for? Who do you think will win???

This young lady was chosen by Mrs. Morash to receive the RARE Award for Responsibility. She maintains a positive and neutral stance in social situations. She gets along with her peers.
On Tuesday the Kinder - 3rd grade presented an amazing play. The students and parents then had a delicious pumpkin desert before they left for the holiday. Two 3rd grade boys stayed and cleaned the Bronco Room when everyone left. They did an amazing job and earned RARE Kids of Character awards for being accountable for cleaning up after their performance. Amazing job!
