Stapleton Public Schools

We have had a plethora of students earn RARE awards the last 2 weeks. Due to illness and testing I have not been able to get them posted. We had 1 kindergartner, 2 fourth grade students, 2 fifth grade students and 6 sixth grade students earn RARE awards. All of these students are amazing and I want to make sure they are posted and recognized. If you see them, tell them great job!

Stapleton Public School Career and Technical Education (CTE) received funding from the Perkins Grant and purchased equipment to be used in the Entrepreneurship class. The class currently has orders for t-shirts and tumblers.
