 Good morning Families,
We have reached the last week before winter break and we hope all students will participate in our winter spirit week and various activities throughout the building this week, including our winter wonderland after school program party.
Stone is honored to recognize our outstanding employees of the year.
- Ms. Magwire (Band): Outstanding Teacher
- Ms. Candeletti (Science): Outstanding New Teacher
- Ms. Costanza (SBTS): Outstanding School Based Professional
As a reminder, winter break will be held December 19 to January 2. To help make sure you and your children have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. Teachers may assign long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments will be due immediately following the break.
We hope all families enjoy the holiday season and have a restful winter break!
We look forward to welcoming students back in the new year.
Sonya Williams

Our school is partnering with Food For Neighbors to help feed our local students who deal with food insecurity outside of school hours. Even in a county as wealthy as ours, one in four kids in our area are struggling with hunger. Through the Food For Neighbors’ Red Bag Program, you’ll make a difference in a local student’s life just by adding a few extra items to your shopping cart five times a year. And the best part - our students will immediately benefit from your generosity! To learn more about how you can help, visit the Food For Neighbors’ website at www.foodforneighbors.org/get-involved.
