Top readers for the first week of Reading Month.
Reading Month kicked off at Stanley Elementary School. This year’s Reading Month is circus themed. At the kick-off, students were entertained by gymnasts, plate spinners, strong men, and a sword swallower. Throughout the month, students read to earn prizes and to get enough points for teachers and staff members to kiss a camel.
On March 28th, a representative from the American Heart Association stopped by and presented certificates to students that raised $250.00 or more for the 2025 Kids Heart Challenge.

A big thank you goes out to all of the people that donated money and also to all of the students that participated in the Kids Heart Challenge..

🎶 **Congratulations to Alexis Lappara on her incredible All- State Band Achievement!** 🎶
Alexis earned a spot in the prestigious All-State Band, representing Stanley with talent and dedication! To reach this level, she competed in the All-State Music Auditions at Bismarck State University on January 10th, where she performed a challenging solo, memorized two scales, and was judged alongside 954 musicians. Alexis was one of just 98 students selected statewide—an amazing accomplishment!
From March 23rd to 25th, Alexis joined top musicians from across North Dakota for three days of intense rehearsals, working with the renowned Dr. Peter Loel Boonshaft, a conductor with experience across the U.S. and around the world. The event concluded with a concert that showcased the hard work and dedication of the performers.
Alexis reflected on the experience:
"All-State was a wonderful experience! I met so many awesome and experienced players and even improved myself. Working with Dr. Boonshaft and the rest of the band will be a memory I cherish for the rest of my life!"
Way to go, Alexis!
