Message from Mrs. Wilken
Dear Trailblazer Families,
For those that attended the Spring Fling this past weekend and those that participated in the online auction, thank you for joining us. Your generosity is the cornerstone to the enrichment and opportunities for our Stone Ranch students.
With 3 weeks left of the school year, there are many events and celebrations of the hard work our students, staff, and community have done throughout the school year. AND it is the perfect time for you to take a few hours to yourselves with a parents night out. Yes, June 1st Stone Ranch will have it's first ever Jammie Jam Parents Night Out. See below for details.
Please keep your eyes on this Blazer Bulletin and I will do my best to keep you up to date and in the know!
As always, proud to be your principal,
Mrs. Wilken

Special Education Connect
AUTISM AWARENESS RESOURCE
A PUSD parent has written a book. "I'm Autistic and I'm Awesome." It's a book geared to elementary and middle-school aged kids and their families. It was inspired by the parents oldest son who is a PUSD student and on the Autism Spectrum. The parent wanted a book that would allow multicultural parents and friends of Autistic kids to see their behaviors as special abilities and superpowers vs. challenges. You can find it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1HRTBFT?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_69E9NX83P9QTTEG2J1DW
