Happy New Year
I hope everyone is healthy, happy and rested after our winter break. As we head in to 2022 I am filled with gratitude for our caring community. Stellar Charter School is such an amazing place to learn and grow. We continue to strive to provide a program that builds collaborative relationships, celebrates achievement, and fosters growth, passion and purpose. We have many wonderful opportunities coming up in the spring and we hope that your family takes full advantage. We are better together!
While we strive to offer a program that brings everyone 100% satisfaction, we realize that we don't always hit the mark. I appreciate those of you who take the time to reach out to your Teacher of Record or stop by my office to share your experiences with us both good and bad. If we don't know what is not working then we can definitely not fix it. And we want to make sure to continue to provide those things that are working well! I want to encourage all of you to take the time to communicate with myself or a staff member those things that are working for you as well as things that just don't seem to be fitting for your family or that you are struggling with. The beauty of being a charter is that, while we are still a public school, we have flexibility to make changes to meet the needs of our families. While we can't always meet everyone's needs, we do our best and find that most things can be taken care of quickly, efficiently and with care as soon as they are brought to our attention. We are here for you.
With that in mind, I have scheduled an open forum Zoom meeting to answer questions and solicit feedback regarding our program. The details are below and I look forward to hearing from you. If the date and time don't work for your schedule, please do not hesitate to set up a meeting with me individually.
Happy New Year!

Redding Performing Arts Center
We've had a wonderful semester at Redding Performing Arts Center with your students! Our high school Performance Theatre students performed Almost, Maine, our Children’s Theatre students performed How I Became a Pirate, and our Youth Theatre Class presented Jingle Jury last week. Private lesson students and our music ensembles have performed in monthly recitals and Christmas concerts. It's been an exciting time at RPAC!
Coming up next semester, we're presenting The Rainbow Fish with the Children’s Theatre, Dr. Doolittle with our Youth Theatre students, and Hello, Dolly with our High School Performance Theatre class. Our private lessons, music, and dance programs continue to grow, and we'd love to have your students jump in on the Spring Semester fun. We will also be adding some new classes including visual art. Please find our Spring 2022 brochure attached, as well as a flyer with our upcoming production announcements. Feel free to pass along this brochure to families who might be interested in joining us!
We look forward to our continued partnership with you, your families, and your students!
Best,
Brandon Baumann and Brenna Yeary
