This week the freshman Info Tech class played "trash-ketball" in the beginning steps of gathering data. Later they will use the data gathered to learn how to use spreadsheets to manipulate and chart the data.
What an amazing day. We had 5 students earn RARE Awards. One student was a first grade student and this is his 4th RARE award. It was for Empathy for helping his classmate catch up with his work. The other four were all 4th grade students. Mrs. Frey gave two of the awards. The first was to a young man who got his award for all four RARE areas. She said he was patient and kind. The second award from Mrs. Frey was to a young lady for being Empathetic. She is kind toward others. The last two award were given by Mrs Dailey. The first was for a young man who cleaned up his area at lunch then went over and cleaned the first grade area. The second award from Mrs. Dailey was to a young man who helped a kindergarten student pick up something off the floor then helped another kindergarten student find his silverware in the trash can. This is a long post but when you have the amazing students that we do at Stapleton you want everyone to know! Have a great weekend.
A group of students attended a Transition to College event at McCook Community College today. They learned about some of the differences between high school and college, what college life can be like, they enjoyed a tour of the campus, met current students, and were able to explore various academic programs.
Yesterday, a group of seniors spent the day on the north campus of MPCC, taking part in the Applied Tech Day. The students were able to attend a career fair and tour the tech programs available at MPCC. Fields such as HVAC, Diesel Mechanics, Autobody, Electrical, and Building and Construction were all represented. The students gained some valuable career information, chatted with current teachers and students within the programs, and even jumped into some hands-on opportunities.
