Principal's Message from the February 2010 Newsletter
Thank you Stanton families and staff who came to our board presentation on January 14. Staff,
parents and students shared about our STAR lab and how we are meeting the individual needs of our
Stanton Stars. We received positive feedback from our Governance Team. I continue to be so proud of
our school and I appreciate your attendance and your help in our presentation.
Our Governance Team recognized Lisa Hargrove for her continued dedication and work at our school.
She has been instrumental in helping organize our upcoming Science Fair and has served on the SPA
board. We appreciate all she does for us!
Fifth grader, Lucy Mbiyu, was also honored for her positive attitude and smiling and welcoming
presence at our school! Lucy is a shining star at Stanton.
Recently our 4th and 5th graders participated in our school spell-a-thon. CONGRATULATIONS to our
first place winner, Molly Koch and our second place winner, Jessica Mi. Molly and Jessica will
represent Stanton at our district’s spelling bee on February 2nd at Canyon Middle School. Good luck!
Stanton students are collecting coins for Haiti due to the tragic and devastating earthquake. Coin jars
are located in classrooms and one is in our office. Our second graders are counting the coins. Our coin
drive will end on February 11th. Thanks for participating!
HONESTY is our character trait for the month of February. Please talk about the importance of being
honest with your child. Perhaps you can share a time where you had to make a decision about telling
the truth and what you did and have your child share one with you. Thanks for reinforcing our
character trait at home!
Please remember that Friday, February 12th is a Staff Development day for teachers and Monday,
February 15th is President’s Day. There is no school!
Have a wonderful week.
