No school on Halloween this year. It looks a little different than in years past. See info below.

Thank you to Kanza Coop for helping our agriculture students recognize National Co-op Month, an annual opportunity to raise awareness of a trusted, proven way to do business and build resilient, inclusive communities. Jackie Mundt and Haley Dinterman presented information and a fun, interactive lesson about the differences between a cooperative, a corporation, and entrepreneurship to our students. Stafford Schools appreciates the support we receive from our local co-op, including supporting our career and technical education (CTE) programs.

Tomorrow is our 5th Annual Middle School Science Fair. The projects will be on display from 1-7 P.M. during Student Led Conferences, and they will be located on the stage in the High School Commons. So swing by if you'd like to show your support. Our 7th and 8th-grade students have been working hard over the past couple of months on their projects, learning the scientific method, and bringing their ideas to life!

Through the generous support of the SCCF teacher grant, our 2nd grade classroom has been equipped with tools that nurture students’ self-regulation, coping skills, and overall mental health. These resources—including a guided breathing light, mindfulness and movement materials, and uplifting books—have made a meaningful impact on our daily routine.
These resources help make every child feel supported and empowered to be their best self—academically, emotionally, and socially. Thank you South Central Community Foundation! Sincerely, Kylie Meyer
