Elementary Math Tip: Give your child a ruler to measure objects around the house. Depending on their grade level, they could measure to the nearest inch or to the sixteenth of an inch. With your help, this hands-on practice teaches how to use a ruler as a measurement tool, how to read a ruler, incorporates math in their daily life, and provides a fun opportunity for your child to practice math!
Lions Tournament Update

Students celebrated reaching their Quarter 2 AR goals with a game party. They could choose from Kahoots trivia, Charades, Pictionary, Bingo, or a variety of board and card games.




Overflow parking for the Lion’s tournament is in the outfield of the baseball diamond.
Mr. Stafslien and Mrs. Dusek are ready to battle it out in the Christmas costume contest!

You may have noticed a number of patrol cars in our high school parking lot this week. The North Dakota Highway Patrol is using our multipurpose room for training. The NDHP appreciates using our centrally located facilities and we appreciate having a police presence in our building each day. Today, the forensics class was able to watch the training and learn about the control tactics the officers use on the job.
Mrs. Pulver learned handcuffing techniques. Mr. Peterson was a little more brave and learned what it was like to be in some of the police holds.

Stanley PE students have been learning the life-long sport of bowling. Special thanks to Jim Dazell for hosting all the students at the alley each week and for providing the delicious Christmas treats today!

There have been reported cases of lice at the Elementary School. Please do a head check and if your child does appear to have lice or nits - keep them home.
Mrs. Stafslien’s class was sponsored earlier this year by community members for $1 scholastic books. They received so many donations that they had an overflow of money! The class discussed and voted on giving a book to each preschooler in town! They read them a book and did art project! The students had so much fun and can’t wait to go to another preschool later on this week! Such a great group of kids!!

Mrs. Roise’s class had an exciting afternoon! They made gingerbread cookies, and those sneaky buggers ran away! The gingerbread men left hints all around the building for the students to follow. They were finally found on the students’ desks, decorated, and enjoyed!!
