Congratulations Science Bowl Team
Congratulations Stilwell Archery Team
The Stilwell archers competed in their last three tournaments of the regular season last week, competing in three different shoots in four days. On Wednesday night, we shot a virtual 3D tournament hosted by Lawton-Bronson schools. The team finished in first place with a season-high score of 1623. Individually Ella Melco finished first in the girl's division, Cheyenne Burrell was 3rd. In the boy's division, Quinton Ballou finished 2nd, Eli Basler 3rd, and Andrew Zhang 4th.
On Saturday, the team shot in 3D and bullseye events at our home tournament. In the Tammy Zenti Memorial Bullseye tournament, the team finished in first place. Individual leaders in the girl's division were Anakarina Rogers in first place and Ella Melco in 2nd. Quinton Ballou took 2nd place in the boy's division and Talyn Slater was 4th.
In the Coach Cheryl McConnell 3D Challenge, the team finished in first place. Ella Melco won the girl's division and Cheyenne Burrell was 5th. Quinton Ballou won the boy's division while Eli Basler took 5th.
Both the bullseye and the 3D teams are moving on to the State Tournament on March 6.
Reminder for In-Person Students
If your student is signed up this semester to be an “in-person” learner, your student cannot choose to learn “online” due to convenience, illness, or weather unless the district determines that we all move to online learning for that day. Students will be counted absent and will need a parent call to excuse.
This should be done in the usual way through our attendance line at 633-6000. You may leave a message 24 hours a day and we ask that you give your student’s name, student ID number, and what grade they are in so we may update their attendance. Thank you!

Parking Lot Protocol
We understand our parking lot drop-off and pick-up process can be time-consuming. However, we need all families to follow the procedures to ensure our students are safe. Please remember these guidelines:
- Do not use the local business as a place to pick-up your child.
- Do not drop off your student or stop for any reason along Vine Street.
- Do not pull into the bus lanes along Vine Street.
- Do not allow your student to exit the vehicle until you have pulled up to the curb in the parking lot.
- Please drive slowly through the parking lot and on Vine St.
