Shark Bites
Stopher Newsletter, February 16th
From the Principal
It has already been a great week at Stopher! I have visited each classroom in the building and have been overjoyed to see the students hard at work. When I arrived on Monday, I was greeted with amazing decorations outside my office and around the school. It is clear there is so much to love about our school.
I have enjoyed looking at the quality door decorations of each classroom celebrating Black History Month. Students have been learning about African American olympians, artists, poets, inventors, musicians, astronauts, and more.
I hope you all received the letter that went home with the students on Tuesday. If not, you can find it here.
Thank you for your flexibility on Monday. I am happy to report that hot water was fully restored to our building Wednesday morning.
Sincerely,
Principal Shearon
