What does the military and FFA have in common and how can they work together? In honor of Veteran’s Day students in the Ag 1 & Ag 4 classes learned how the FFA has worked with and is similar to our country’s military. The students found information about our involvement with each other in the past, what our similarities are today and how we can work together in the future. Check out what the students found outside of the Ag Classroom!

Students in Mrs. Stafslien’s reading class have been working on opinion writing projects. They tried to convince someone to buy their jack-o-lantern because it was the best in the patch! They typed it themselves and created their perfect jack-o-lantern art projects to match! 🎃
Mr. Cuypers’ STEM students connected an ultrasonic sensor to the front of the brain brick that measured distances. The students programmed the brick to stop immediately, go in reverse, and turn away when it encountered an obstacle.
Mr. Peterson gets extra mileage out of a Halloween pumpkin by combining water with calcium carbide to demonstrate incomplete combustion and the formation of soot.
Essler's Biology have been working on their Pectinase (Exploring Enzymes) Pre-Lab! Using their resources, power words, and their science talk they were to write about enzymes in their Background. They were then tasked with "TAG"ging their peers with positive-forward feedback! They were to TELL a positive, ASK a question, and GIVE a suggestion. Y'all, zoom in and read their TAG Feedback papers! Proud of these kiddos helping one another with scientific literacy! #proudbluejay #esslerscience
Essler's Biology students performed their Pectinase (Exploring Enzymes) Lab today! Love Lab days! Ask any SHS Biologist and they can tell you all about enzymes!

Your Stanley Student Council members are proud to host Jeans for Vets on Tuesday, November 12. In honor of veterans day, we are participating in a national dress down day and all staff members may wear jeans if they make a $5 donation.

A couple weeks ago, about 80 students participated in a chili cook off. It was a great opportunity for hands-on learning, but now we have a couple of crockpots that got mixed up. If your child brought a crockpot to school that day, would you please check your cupboard. We are looking for a West Bend silver crockpot and a red crockpot. One has the family name on it. Thank you for checking and participating in the crockpot exchange of 2019.
The phones are back up and working at both the high school and elementary school.

Stanley Band Members, Braxton Istilart & Trystan Johnson, were selected to perform as members of the Symphonic Band at the Northwest Festival of Music at Minot State University. They practiced for two days with students from North Dakota & Montana. The festival ended with an afternoon concert.
