selor Mrs. Gill says that this is a great accomplishment,
especially as seniors statewide are given preference.
We are extremely proud of these three students!
SC Students to Serve as Pages Stanley County Schools wish to thank Mr. Bob
Jeffries with Beck Motors for helping the 5th grade
class with the Junior Achievement Program. The
JA focus this year was economics around the
world. Mr. Jeffries is a longtime volunteer with this
pro-
gram
and we
appre-
ciate
him
sharing
his tal-
ents.

The 6-12 Christ-
mas concert was
December 8th at
Parkview Gym-
nasium. The
twelve 6th grade
band members
performed Christ-
mas Fun, Christ-
mas Greetings, and First Christmas March. This concert
was their first for some of the 6th graders, but they all
did a nice job. The 7-12 band performed My Favorite
Things from “The Sound of Music”, Stille, Stille, Stille,
Happy Christmas (War is Over), and Christmas Eve/
Sarajevo 12/24. Middle School Choir students sang Si-
lent Night, Where Are You Christmas, On This Christmas
Night, and The Christmas Song. The High School Cho-
rus per-
formed

these groups of students each day.
Christmas Concert
On Monday, December 8, 2014 the kindergarten
class went caroling at the Sutley Senior Center
to entertain the crowd as they dined. The stu-
dents did a great job and the audience loved
them! The Kindergarteners were rewarded with
a yummy sugar cookie for their awesome singing.
The group was led by Mrs. Cruser.

Students need a winter coat, hat, gloves, snow pants, and snow boots
to have full access to the playground during these cold, snowy months.
Please, remember to label your child’s items as well as many children
have similar looking pieces.
If you need assistance in obtaining one or more of these items, please
contact the elementary office at 223-7745.
Winter Clothing Reminder
Parents:
Please mark your child’s winter weather clothing with his/her name.
With numerous kids having very similar looking items, it will be very
helpful in keeping them straight and tracking the items down in the
event that they do go missing.
Marking Clothing
Stanley County Elementary continues to collect Box Tops for Educa-
tion and Labels for Education. The money from the box tops goes into
our playground fund and the points from Campbell’s are used to pur-
chase school items from their catalog.
We appreciate all the support parents and community members give us
in this area. If you have any of these items you may send them to
school with your child or drop them off at the elementary office.

We apologize for the misunderstanding of what can be brought in for
your child’s sack lunch. We as a school district are encouraging
healthier eating as the school is following the guidelines of the
Healthy, Hunger-Free Act of 2010. With that, we cannot regulate
what you send in your child’s sack lunch but we are asking for your
help in helping our efforts in not sending such things as pop.
School Lunches
Ms. Clair’s Stanley County 5th grade class collected 307
pounds of canned goods. Their efforts will benefit the
local food pantry. After the recent hotel fire, students
wanted to help out their local community. This was
also a math lesson
as the food weight
was calculated by
the students.

Spirit, Cormac

Stanley County Elementary 4th grade students have been
selected to participate in the NAEP assessment that will be
given on January 28, 2015. The students have been selected
to take a mathematics, reading, or science assessment. In
addition to answering questions in one of these subjects,
students will be asked questions about themselves and
their educational experiences, such as the amount of read-
ing they do and the types of classes they take. These ques-
tions provide contextual information for the assessment, as
well as information that may be related to students’ learn-
ing. If you would like to view sample subject area and con-
textual questions, please visit http://nationsreportcard.gov/
parents.asp.
First administered in 1969, NAEP is the largest nationally
representative and continuing assessment of what students
know and can do in various subject areas. It is administered
by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the
U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from
state assessments because it provides a common measure
of student achievement across the country. The results of
NAEP are released as The Nation's Report Card, which
provides information about student achievement to educa-
tors, parents, policymakers, and the public.
