We had a 6th grade student earn a RARE Award for having RARE characteristics 40 times this semester. She has done amazing.
Wow! I am behind on the RARE recognition again. We had several students earn RARE Awards last week. We had four 4th grade students earn awards. The first was for being responsible. He does his work quietly and finishes it. The second was for being Accountable. He gets his book out and reads quietly while waiting for others to finish. The 3rd was for being Empathetic. He is always looking out for others and has a kind heart. The 4th was also for being Empathetic. He comes to school each day with a positive attitude and enjoys making others laugh.

The Senior Class will be holding a silent auction this Friday, Dec. 5, at the basketball games in Stapleton. Come cheer on the Mavs, and do a little Christmas shopping while you are at it!
It is time to spread some Christmas Cheer! Elementary and High School Student Councils met and came up with the opportunity for students to enjoy the 12 Days of Christmas Dress Days.
