This week marks the start of the 10th Grade's chapter on WWI. To start it, they all chose a flag, at random, and had to fill out a placard that explained their nation's role during WWI.
As we go through the years of WWI, flags will be moved to the different walls of the room based on what alliance they were in at that time.

We had 2 second grade students earn RARE Awards yesterday. They both earned their awards for reading a play and paying attention during class while reading their part or listening to other read. They both did well.
Yesterday we had an entire class earn a RARE Award. The entire class worked very hard during reading class when they had a lot of work to do. Mrs. Klosen was very proud of them.
NO PRACTICES TODAY: Due to the range fire and smoke, we are canceling all practices today after school. Currently the buses are running accordingly.
Last week we had a 4th grade student earn a RARE Award. She is very responsible and brings her work back on time. This week we have had 2 students earn RARE Awards already. One is a first grade student who is responsible. He held the dust pan for another student without being asked. The second student is a third grade student who consistently brings his planner back signed and his folder cleaned out. We have amazing, responsible students.
We are very proud of these young men!
Save the date for our Stapleton Public School Foundation Banquet. This is a great chance for alumni to meet up with your class!
The Class of '25 is back, safe and (mostly) sound, from their Senior Trip! Three days of adventures in Colorado: shopping, climbing, cooking, gaming, flying... just to name a few.
