Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you all are enjoying family, food and friends today! We want to extend a special thank you to the supporters of our school/athletic programs for their generosity over the past year. We have two new additions to be grateful for! First is an additional weight training rack that was purchased through a grant gifted by the Stapleton Public School Foundation Board. This rack is in addition to the four that were purchased last year. The increase in participation numbers in the weight room and the guidance by Coach Deines have been phenomenal which necessitated additional equipment. The donors and foundation board are greatly appreciated! Additionally, the Stapleton Schools Booster Club purchased this cart to be utilized at both home and away contests to store water bottles, med kit supplies or other items needed during the course of contests. Thank you to everyone who supports the school, the cooperative and these wonderful organizations that provide so much for our students, staff and community. Enjoy your holiday!

The accounting classes utilize online assignments. This prepares students for real life accounting and bookkeeping that is mainly performed using computer applications, such as Quicken and Quickbooks.

This week the freshman Info Tech class played "trash-ketball" in the beginning steps of gathering data. Later they will use the data gathered to learn how to use spreadsheets to manipulate and chart the data.

What an amazing day. We had 5 students earn RARE Awards. One student was a first grade student and this is his 4th RARE award. It was for Empathy for helping his classmate catch up with his work. The other four were all 4th grade students. Mrs. Frey gave two of the awards. The first was to a young man who got his award for all four RARE areas. She said he was patient and kind. The second award from Mrs. Frey was to a young lady for being Empathetic. She is kind toward others. The last two award were given by Mrs Dailey. The first was for a young man who cleaned up his area at lunch then went over and cleaned the first grade area. The second award from Mrs. Dailey was to a young man who helped a kindergarten student pick up something off the floor then helped another kindergarten student find his silverware in the trash can. This is a long post but when you have the amazing students that we do at Stapleton you want everyone to know! Have a great weekend.
