Dear Stallion families,
It's going to be a great week here at Stark! I love celebrating and honoring all of our staff members that work so hard each day. Thank you again to all the families that donated gift cards for our amazing staff.
The last three weeks are going to be busy with all the testing and end of year activities. Stay connected with us on Facebook and through Parent Square so you don't miss any important information!
To the BEST of days,
Mrs. Putman
It's Staff Appreciation Week! We still need gift cards if you can help us out!
Teacher Appreciation Week is Coming!
Shhhhh....it's a surprise!
This year for Staff Appreciation Week (May 6-10), we are looking for gift card donations to give our wonderful Janie Stark Staff! We would like to give away 5-8 gift cards per day to our staff members during our Morning Show as a way to show our thanks and appreciation from the Stark families and community!
Our goal is to gift every staff member with a token of appreciation during the week in the form of a gift card!
If you are able to donate a $10-$15 gift card for Teacher Appreciation Week, we will use it in our daily give away for our staff. Feel free to also include a note with your name if you'd like! You can always donate anonymously as well.
If you can help, please drop your gift card off in the main office, or send with your child in an envelope marked "Teacher Appreciation Week" between now and May 3rd!
Field Day - May 17th
We are looking forward to Field Day on Friday, May 17th! In order to make this amazing day happen, we need volunteers. If you can volunteer for a time slot, please click here and sign up.
While you are welcome to volunteer during your child's grade level time, please note that you will not be able to rotate through stations with your child. Each volunteer will be assigned one station to stay at throughout their shift.
All volunteers are required to have a background check through CFBISD. You can access this through Parent Square if you haven't completed one already this school year.
