GO MAVERICKS!!!
A kindergarten student and a 2nd grade student earned RARE awards today. The kindergarten student earned hers for being Empathetic. She encourages her classmates and is always positive and caring. The second grade student earned his RARE award for being Accountable. He worked hard all week to improve his reading skills on a play they were reading in class. Keep up the great work!
Today we had a plethora of 3rd grade students earn RARE awards. Two of the young men earned a RARE award for being kind and helpful at the grocery store. They helped a teacher carry her groceries and get them in her car. Two students earned awards for being empathetic in school. They both cheer on and encourage their classmates. One of them has now earned all 4 areas of RARE awards. Wow. The last 3rd grade student to earn a RARE award today earned it for being respectful. He uses his manners and listens when the teacher is speaking.
The 4 -6 grade students who made Honor Roll were honored today with a certificate, a hand written note from a high school Honor Society member, and Smarties Candy. If you see these students let them know how proud we are of them.
Today there were 2 RARE Awards given to 2 young men. The first young man is a second grade student who stopped to help a classmate get her zipper unstuck from the swing. How caring and Empathetic! The second young man is a Third grade student who takes out unfinished work when he has extra time and completes is so he doesn't have to have homework. He is very Accountable!
Today we had 2 third grade students earn RARE awards. They both earned it for using their class time wisely and completing their work. Stapleton has amazing students.

The Introduction to Agriscience students are working through the animal systems unit, looking at different types of systems, and the similarities and differences between species. Yesterday these students dissected perch fish to look at the various organs and systems within a fish. Next week these students will dissect a fetal pig to see the organs and systems of a mono-gastric livestock animal.
Come help cheer on the Sandhill Valley Mavericks 1/28/25!!!
