The SPS Library is again hosting a Book Fair during Parent Teachers Conference week. Elementary students in 2nd through 6th grade have been invited to complete wish lists and bring them home. The book fair will be open for sales until 4 PM on Tuesday (Oct 21) and Wednesday (Oct 22) but can only accept exact amounts or cards. We will be open from 8AM to 7PM Thursday (Oct. 23) during Parent Teachers Conference. We will be able to accept cash, check, credit or debit cards. You may also set up an eWallet that allows your child to shop on their own. To set up an eWallet go to
https://www.scholastic.com/bf/stapletonelementaryschool This year we are encouraging sales to round-up and donate to the Share-the-Fair for students who may not be able to buy a book. Everyone who rounds-up gets to choose from some great stickers. Elementary teachers have also completed wish lists if you would like to donate to their classroom libraries. Hope to see you at the fair.

We had five 2nd grade students earn RARE Awards on Friday. One for being respectful, always following rules and being kind. Two students always remembering to get their planner signed and come to class prepared. The last 2 do a great job reading at home and taking AR tests. They push themselves to read harder books. Great job to all five of you!

Last week we had several students earn RARE Awards including our first two sixth grade students and our first brother sister team. The sixth grade students have to earn points for each RARE Characteristic to earn a RARE Award so it is very difficult for them to earn RARE Awards. We only had 2 earn it this entire quarter and one earned it the same time as her little brother. Way to go!

Science got a little crazy today!
In 8th grade we summarized or motion and forces unit with a challenge to build and race a car powered by a balloon.

This morning 2 of our kindergarten students received RARE Awards that they have earned this quarter. They are both for being Accountable this quarter. This young lady does the right thing even when no one is watching. She always works hard and completes her work. This young man takes it upon himself to do his work and tasks in class without veing asked. Keep it up!

This week has been busy and I am behind on posting the RARE Awards. We have had a bunch. The first one is a 3rd grade girl who has earned an award for being Responsible. This is her second award. She consistently cleans out her folder, gets her planner signed and has already earned points for her October AR goal. The second award winner is a 4th grade student. He earned his award for helping Mrs. Hanna with a door while he was in the gym. He earned his award for being Respectful. The 3rd student was another 4th grade student who earned a RARE Award for being Respectful. He is respectful and helpful to his peers and also to his teachers! The last 4 students to earn their RARE Awards were all 2nd grade students. The first one earned hers for being Accountable. She always uses her work time appropriately at school. She always tries to do her best on each assignment. The next young lady earned her award for being Responsible. She is always prepared for class. She remembers to get her planner signed each night and bring it back to class each day. The 3rd second grade student to earn a RARE Award also earned it for being Responsible. She is always prepared for class and she remembers to take her planner home and return it to the school signed by a parent each day. The final 2nd grade student to earn a RARE Award this week earned it for being Accountable. He works hard and puts his best effort in on each of his assignments. He always tries his best.
