Stillwater Elementary School

Greetings,

I just love the month of March! The sun has been shining, our building is buzzing with excitement as PARP is underway and things just feel brighter. We had a wonderful Morning Program this past week. If you have been to our morning programs lately, you will notice our focus has been on highlighting the great things our students are doing. This week we were able to highlight our Art Club students and PE. We had some students share book recommendations and we recognized our students who received Positive Office Referrals and our Warrior All Stars.

Next week is Spirit Week for PARP and the calendar is below. Thank you for all of your participation in our PARP activities. I told the students at the kick-off that if at least 50% of our students complete and turn in their reading logs, we will do our Pie a Staff Member fun again this year. A reminder they need to be emailed to stillwaterPARP@yahoo.com.

Thank you for your continued support!

Respectfully,

Rebecca Toleman

Elementary Principal
