The 2024 FFA Week came to a fun end with a teacher appreciation breakfast this morning and the elementary students participating in mini FFA contests throughout the day. These are just a few of the pictures from throughout the day.






The Preschoolers celebrated their 100th Day of School with a fashion show. Kindergarten students and Mrs. Weems attended the show. The students shared their one-ok-a-kind creations with the audience. They also completed a 100 exercise challenge, did 100 acts of kindness, created the number 100 with stickers, and counted to 100 by 1s and 10s.




A fantastic day at MPCC's Inter-High Competition!!! Over 450 students from 21 high schools competed in all disciplines from accounting and chemistry to mechincs and welding, and everything in between. Our kids did very well, bringing home several individual medals and a team award.

Dear All,
We are planning a Bingo for Books night at Stapleton Public Schools. It will be at 5:30 on March 4, 2024. We will also have a pie social and speech demonstration following the Bingo. We would like every child that attends to leave with a book. We are asking the community to see if anyone has new or nearly new books they would like to donate to the school for this event. If you have books you would like to donate please bring them or send them with a child to school. Mrs. Isom’s will keep them until Bingo night. I am very excited about this activity and want as many kids as we can to participate.
Thanks!
Bobbi Isom
