Dear Stallion Families,
I hope you and your families had a wonderful and relaxing week! We are looking forward to continuing the holiday season with a few of our dress-up days and traditions we've established in the past. As always, participation is optional. Please do not feel like you need to participate.
The holidays are a great time to celebrate loved ones with laughter and joy. We look forward to a joyful holiday season with your children!
To the BEST of days,
Mrs. Putman

December Fun at Stark
For the month of December the staff will be enjoying holiday “theme” days to bring excitement and fun into the classroom. We invite the students to participate in a few of the fun days as well! This is, of course, optional. Please do not feel like your child has to participate. These are only meant to be an exciting way to countdown the days until the winter break:
Friday, December 2 - Holiday Headwear (see below)!
Wednesday, December 7 - College Colors Day!
Thursday, December 8 - Reindeer Day! Wear reindeer antlers
Monday, December 12 - Dress like the 1980’s for the 80th day of school
Thursday, December 15 - Polar Express Day; wear pajamas
Friday, December 16 - Wear a holiday shirt for class parties
Again, participation is completely optional. My goal is always to create an exciting learning environment where kids want to come to school! When students have fun learning, the likelihood of high academic achievement increases.

December Rodeo Pep Rally
These campus-wide pep rallies are for students only. Due to space and safety, visitors and volunteers will not be allowed.
You can help us by making sure your child arrives to school on-time so they don't miss a minute of the fun! AND this week we will have a Holiday Headwear contest. Each grade level will dress in a different holiday character hat!
- Pre-K, Communications and Support Center wear Reindeer ears!
- Kinder wear Reindeer ears!
- 1st and 2nd grade wear Elf ears or hats!
- 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade wear Santa hats!

Class Party Dues
Help us facilitate awesome whole school parties this year! Our party days are the Holiday party, Valentine’s Day Party, and the End of the Year Bash. A donation of $10/child helps fund ALL THREE of these parties. Please donate online through this link, or send $10 with your child to give to the office. Grade Level lead parents will be working with room parents to plan the party. You will receive more information about volunteering and/or attending the parties closer to the party date!
Have questions? Email the Room Parent Coordinator, Cassandra Hatfield hatfieldcassandra@gmail.com
