The Stallion Stampede
Janie Stark Elementary Parent Newsletter
September 18, 2022
Dear Stallion Families,
We had a great week last week celebrating Dot Day and kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month! I love how our community comes together to celebrate our heritage and traditions.
Research has shown that children with families engaged in their school and community are more likely to earn higher grades and test scores, graduate from high school and attend post-secondary education, develop self-confidence and motivation in the classroom, and have better social skills and classroom behavior.
Last week was a great example of parents engaging with their child to participate in our Dot Day and Hispanic Heritage Month events. Thank you for all the ways you partner with us!
To the BEST of days,
Mrs. Putman
