Dear Stenwood Families,
It is hard to believe we have almost finished our fourth week of school! We have enjoyed every minute. We are looking forward to seeing many of you at the Ice Cream Social this Friday! Come join us for fun with a DJ and ice cream! All students must be with an adult the entire time - this is not a drop off event. We look forward to seeing the whole family!
Sincerely,
Erica Riley, Principal
Meredith Mitchell, Assistant Principal

Week of 9/23-27, we will focus on Teamwork/Citizenship
You work well as a member of a group or team. You are loyal and sacrifice your individual desires for the greater good.
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?” ~Martin Luther King, JR.
Questions you might enjoy talking about.
• What does the word sacrifice mean?
• What does the word individual mean?
• Explain “greater good” in your own words?
