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!

Trying something new. Each morning we meet with a fun little activity and announcements to get us started on the right foot. What better way to start a friday than a little duck duck goose?

The Stapleton Public School Foundation is excited to try something new this year, instead of our traditional banquet and auction they are hosting a Kentucky Derby Viewing followed by a Casino Night.

Call the Stapleton Public School office to reserve save your spot!

We have 2 students who have earned RARE Awards this week so far. One is a 2nd grade student who earned her RARE Award for being Empathetic. She had a malfunction in her computer during a test and was patient and waited for her teacher to be able to help her. The other student was a kindergartner who earned his RARE Award for being Empathetic. He showed empathy toward classmates and teachers. Way to go!
