St. Stan Star
May 16th, 2024
Happy last day of school! Where did the year go? I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the students, parents, staff, and community members. Together, we have made this school year a success, and we will continue to achieve great things in the future. The staff at St. Stanislaus School wish you a safe and happy summer. See you back in August!
Cadet Teachers: Cadet Teaching is a course offered through Helias to help satisfy the hours necessary for the A+ program. Maddie Verslues and Will Gallagher from Helias earned service hours last semester in Mrs. Stockman and Mr. Campbell's classrooms Thank you, Maddie and Will, for helping volunteering your time in our school!
7th Grade: Thank you to our 7th graders and their parents for their help with the reception after the 8th grade graduation! The decorations were bright and colorful, the food was delicious, and clean up was quick and easy. Many hands make light work indeed!
Patriotic Rosary: Thank you to our 5th graders, Mrs. Andrews, and Mrs. Stumpe who led a beautiful Patriotic Rosary to honor our nation! Each Hail Mary was dedicated to a state of the United States and we prayed for God's protection and guidance for our nation. Patriotic songs were sung between the decades as well as famous words from history.
Kindergarten Kick-off: We had our informational Kindergarten meeting this week with our incoming Kindergarten parents and students. Mrs. Stockman and Mrs. Armstrong discussed the ABCs of Kindergarten and got to meet their future students. Please contact the office if you would like further information about enrollment in Kindergarten class.
The For You Foundation: St. Stanislaus helped raise over $1700 for The For You Foundation. Your dress down money helped bereaved mothers with therapy and hospital or funeral costs. Thank you for your donations to this great cause!
We Will Miss You: We said good-byes to a few of our staff members today. Mrs. Rehmert, our counselor, will be working with teens at The Counseling Hub in Jefferson City. Mrs. Patty Gibbons, our preschool aide, will be spending more time with her family, but we will still see her in the building occasionally as a substitute teacher. We wish them the best in the new adventures!
Welcome: Please extend a warm welcome to Wendy Taube who will be joining our team for the 2024-2025 school year. Wendy will be working alongside Mrs. Boggs as her aide in the PreK 4 year old room. We are so excited to have Wendy join our staff at St. Stanislaus School!
Field Day: Our Field Day was a huge success, and everyone had a great time! Thank you to our Home and School Association who organized the day and to our parents who volunteered their time! We also can't forget about the Cole County Sheriff's Department that let our kids play with their vehicles, Thorni Ridge Exotics who brought out animals for the petting zoo, Sno Biz that served up some delicious snow cones, and the Osage Fire Department who hosed our students down at the end of the day. Thank you to everyone listed above and anyone that I may have missed. Our day would have not have been the same without you!
Athletic Committee: Mrs. Eggen is looking for help with the athletic committee for the next school year. If you are interested, please reach out to her at stephaniee@ststan.net.
Lunch/Milk Fees: Please log into your FACTS Family Portal account to make sure your child's lunch accounts are up to date. Extra lunch money can be rolled over to the next school year. Registration will not be complete for 2024-2025 school year until balances have been paid.
Many blessings,
Mrs. Forbis
