5th graders had the opportunity to apply for Library Helper Positions! They had to fill out applications listing their skills and get recommendations from teachers on why they would be a great candidate for the job! Mrs. Stafslien had the hard task picking only 15 students when many applied! The first group (Laynee, Berkley, Nora, Gavyn, Adeline) will help in the library the first semester. The second group (Piper, Omni, Huntley, Briar, Hadley-not pictured) will help second semester! The third group (Chandler, Cade, Karlee, Elliott, Khara) will help during the Book Fair in the spring! These students will help with tasks around the library, work with younger students, and gain leadership skills! Congrats to all of the helpers! 📚📚📚

Mrs. Fredrickson's' 1st grade class had a blast being scientists today! They determined if things were considered living vs non-living. Some they had to really investigate to to determine what they were. They then traveled outside into nature to find living and non-living things. We have a bunch of really smart future scientists!

Science meets creativity in Mrs. Verano’s class!👕 Mrs. Verano’s class has been learning about the elements of the periodic table. To make learning more fun and hands-on, students created their own element shirts based on their assigned element! Through this project, students learned about their element’s protons, neutrons, and electrons, as well as its properties and uses in different industries.

💕🤠 Dolly Day — September 25th! 🤠💕
Even with all the Homecoming excitement last week, Kindergarten still made time for a little Dolly Day fun! ✨
During counselor time with Miss Syria, our kindergarteners learned about the lovely Dolly Parton and the kindness she has shared with the world. We talked about how even small acts of kindness can make a BIG difference! 💗
And of course, we couldn’t celebrate Dolly without a little extra style! Our kiddos finished the lesson by creating their very own fabulous Dolly-inspired hats! ✨
A little kindness, a little creativity, and a whole lot of Dolly! 💕🌟

We completed our FIRST Regional Envirothon Competition on Wednesday (9/23), and the students left feeling excited! ND Envirothon challenges students to apply the basic principles of resource management and ecology to complex environmental issues. The day kicked off with a 20-stop Trail Test covering all things ecology and natural resources. After a keynote on regenerative farming, teams had just one hour to build an oral presentation. The afternoon was filled with breakout sessions on North Dakota's resources and conservation. We had TWO Teams competing on Wednesday and they scored at the top of the pack! The Cyanocitta Scientists which included: Brooklyn Kennedy, KK Desjarlais, Serafina Beehler, Tyson Durfee, and Anthony Nardacci placed 6th out of 15 teams! The Stanley Blue Jay Nerds which included: Corra Parkinson, Camryn Ruiz, Jacob Altamirano, Thosten Lidstrom, and Payden Hunting placed 7th out of 15 teams. I am extremely proud considering how quickly the teams were thrown together and how little time we had to prep. We have plenty of work ahead, but after wednesday we have a clearer sense of direction, and the students understand what's expected. Coaches aren't allowed to be with their teams, but I snuck a few pictures when I could. Enjoy!

🍕 Who’s ready for some Science… and PIZZA?! Mrs. Verano’s class dove into the lesson on physical and chemical changes! To make learning more hands-on and meaningful, students made their own pizza, from making their very own mozzarella cheese to creating their delicious pizzas. They discovered that when vinegar was mixed with milk, a chemical change occurred and a new substance was formed. They could even notice a change in the smell! This hands-on activity helped students better understand how to identify physical and chemical changes in real life. And one thing is for sure… their science experiment was DELICIOUS!

The seniors in Cyber Security and Financial Literacy classes had the opportunity to hear from Taylor Hanson, BSA Risk Specialist from Cornerstone Bank. Taylor is a graduate of Stanley High School and former FBLA member who returned to share her educational and career journey.
Taylor emphasized the importance of developing strong computer literacy skills in high school and explained how those skills continue to benefit her career today. She shared that she chose to study business at Mayville State University because she knew she wanted to return to Stanley after college and wanted a degree that would provide local career opportunities.
She also spoke about the value of her professional development course in college, which helped prepare her for the workplace and ultimately contributed to her success in securing her current position. Taylor discussed the importance of evaluating factors such as benefits, work schedules, and long-term opportunities when making career decisions.
After graduating, Taylor worked as a bank teller at Cornerstone Bank in New Town for a year before pursuing a new challenge. She remained interested in the banking industry and successfully applied for her current role as a BSA and Fraud Specialist.
Students learned about the many types of scams Taylor encounters in her work and how she investigates suspicious transactions to determine whether they are legitimate or fraud-related. She concluded by sharing practical fraud prevention tips, including turning on transaction notifications and helping educate older family members, as senior citizens are often targeted by scammers.
Thank you, Taylor, for taking the time to invest in our students and provide valuable insights into careers in banking, fraud prevention, and financial security!
