STUCO at Fall General

by: Lynnae Doulder, Junior

On Thursday, Oct. 24th, the Stacey Student Council went to the annual Fall General Meeting at the Northside Athletic Complex. Fall General is where several student councils meet together to share ideas on projects you can do for your school. This year the theme was The Lion King. The main idea this year was “The past can hurt, but you can either learn from it or run from it”. Another main idea was to spread kindness. The guest speaker was Darryl Hemphill, the first African American athletic director at Northside ISD. He was very inspirational and told us to spread kindness to everyone and it

will make a difference. We were able to get a quick picture with him. The skit that the district officers put on at the end covered the main idea about your past. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and we have many ideas for the school this year.

Elementary Happenings 

These awesome 3rd graders in Mrs. Mendez's class are beginning the foundational math skill of multiplication! Bakery Array Day.

Kindergarten!! 

Working with 5 frames

Mrs. Crawford's class discovering how the temperature of water affects the brightness of a glow stick! Glow Ghosts were perfect timing! The conclusions that were drawn were amazing!

From Pumpkin math and science to an electrical zombie apocalypse, 4th grade has been extremely busy with our hands on experiments!

After the “outbreak” the only safe place was the classroom!  Each community had to come up with a light source and a sound source to warn them if Zombies were on their way.

Kindergarteners were treated to a very special visit from a Starship trooper.  Mr. Randy Sewell designed, 3D printed, sanded and painted the entire costume.  Thanks Randy!!!
