On Monday Mr. Hellman’s social studies classes began their study of the US Civil War. To help the class understand the differences in the numbers and supplies for the two sides we had a paper ball fight in class. The north had more students and more paper balls than the south. In the end the entire class was allowed to attack Mr. Hellman. He barely escaped the attack!

Stanley FFA members attended the Winter Leadership Conference in Bismarck this weekend. They started the weekend by delivering Chemo Care Kits to cancer patients at Mid Dakota Clinic, then using teamwork to try to escape at Trapped in Bismarck escape rooms. On Saturday the conference began and students were able to enhance their leadership abilities by attending sessions and then had the opportunity to help their fellow FFA members package 200,000 meals for the Meals of Hope service project that delivers these meals to local residents within North Dakota.
The Ag 1, Ag 2 and Ag 4 students showed off their shop projects and had a contest where students and teachers could choose their favorites! The Ag 1 classes made corn hole boards and the Ag 2 and Ag 4 classes made a scrap wood holiday decor project. The students had a blast designing these and they all turned out great! Winning the Teacher Choice award was Caiti Hennessy with her “Have a Merry Christmas” tree and winning the Student Choice Award was Jacob Littlefield and Tucker Gorder with their “Just Do It” corn hole board.
New backboards go up at the Elementary.
The great people at Pepsi stopped by to drop off a little Christmas cheer for our students who helped pick up a crate of water that took a spill a couple of weeks ago. Previously, Safari Fuels and Stanley Pinnacle surprised the students with coupons for meals. Pepsi sent our students off to Christmas break with some duffle bags and Pepsi swag. In addition to all the fun surprises, our students made a great connection with our Pepsi delivery drivers and shared some laughs and smiles.
💛💚🧡
Thank you to all the teams that played and the spectators that came to watch!
We were able to raise around $800 for our elementary school playground.

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!
