St. Stanislaus Kostka School

On Friday, our friend and North Adams American Legion Post 125 Auxiliary Unit President, Jill Naugle, stopped by the school to visit some of our students. She taught them the proper way to fold a flag, as well as the meaning behind each fold. 🇺🇸

Every June 14th, Americans across the country pause to honor one of our nation’s most recognizable symbols: the Stars and Stripes. Flag Day celebrates the day in 1777 that the Second Continental Congress officially resolved that the national flag would feature 13 alternating red and white stripes and 13 white stars on a blue field.

Our 3rd and 4th graders planted some tomato seeds with Mr. Ciara at the beginning of April and have been diligently caring for their seedlings ever since. 🌱

This morning, they walked over to the garden and learned how to properly plant them in the earth, where they will hopefully produce some beautiful tomatoes this summer! 🍅

Yesterday, Mrs. Meaney’s 5th grade class made and tested solar ovens, in an attempt to cook eggs. 🍳 They kept a chart with the time, temperature, and observations, and had a lot of fun while learning at the same time.

In Massachusetts, the 3rd grade Social Studies curriculum focuses on the history and geography of Massachusetts. To wrap up the year, Ms. Fancher takes her students on a Landmark Walk around Adams.

With the help of some alumni as crossing guards, Ms. Fancher’s 3rd graders stopped at many landmarks in town today, each reading a short excerpt of information they prepared about their assigned stop.

A big SSKS CONGRATULATIONS to our kindergarten teacher, Ms. Horn, and her family, on the birth of her second son! Welcome to the SSKS family, Reece! 🩵

Last, but certainly not least, Mason rounds out our Graduate Spotlights for this year!

Mason is a history buff and enjoys learning everything and anything about it. He also likes geography and collects DVDs. Since the start of his collection, he has now earned the title of having a "library" (1000+). With this, he has amazing knowledge of actors, directors, television stars, and musicians. Mason will be joining his classmates Haleigh and Brodie at McCann Technical High School next year.

When asked two qualities to describe Mason, the middle school teachers described him as ambitious and polite. These traits will serve you well in life, Mason!

Good luck in high school! Always remember that your St. Stan's family is behind you, cheering you on, wherever you go and whatever you do!
