Reminder! There is NO SCHOOL Monday and Tuesday!

Good Afternoon Rising Star Community! We ended the week with our monthly STUCO Character Trait Assembly where we recognized Students of the Month that represented Empathy, our Superstar Spinners, and our PTA Reflections Award Winners! Our 6th Grade team took 1st Place in Mathletics again, and will go on to Regionals - I would say it was a pretty great week at the Star 🙂 Lots of exciting things coming up this month, including a highly anticipated and requested STEAM Night! Be sure to check the Update: https://app.smore.com/n/y2bk8

Have a great weekend, Stars!

Happy Friday, Star Community! It felt SO good to be back this week - our kids and teachers didn't skip a beat. Learning was in full force, engagement was high, and kids were excited to be back in classrooms with their friends and teachers. Lots of exciting things coming up this semester - starting with a Movie Night tonight at 6:30 put on by our PTA! We hope you can join us for Zootopia 🙂 https://app.smore.com/n/9a0c8
