Congratulations to Ms. Scott’s 1st Grade Class!

Ms. Scott’s 1st grade class was our Attendance Challenge winner with the highest accumulated attendance rate! To make their achievement even more impressive, they had 100% attendance on our half-day.

As a reward, the class enjoyed a visit from a mystery guest, our very own Stefanik Star- and a fun tattoo party. Ms. Scott and her team also received a special drink delivery from 7 Brew Coffee.

Great job, everyone, and thank you for making attendance a priority! ⭐📚👏

What an Amazing Friday at Stefanik Elementary! 🎉🍦🎶

Last Friday was full of fun and celebration! We started with Music Bingo for the top three classes with the highest attendance in May. Students enjoyed snacks, tested their music knowledge, and won tasty treats.

We then kicked off our Almost End-of-the-School-Year Celebration, where students and families enjoyed free ice cream and celebrated an incredible year of learning, growth, and hard work.

A big thank you to our students, families, staff, administration, and our Family and Community Engagement Liaison for helping make Stefanik such a special community. We are so proud of all that our students have accomplished this year!

Be sure to look out for more exciting events in the new school year!

Join us this Friday for “Government and Citizenship: How Democracy Came to the Beehive” by Bad Wolf Press, a play performed by the Stefanik Stars. This fun and engaging theatrical production brings government, citizenship, leadership, and community to life through the world of the bees.

Filled with humor, creativity, and important lessons about working together, this performance is perfect for families, students, and community members of all ages.

Will be available this Friday on Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and Channel 191!
