Engaging All Students to be Lifelong Learners
Dear Farmin Stidwell Families,
What a wonderful start to the school year! Beautiful September weather, happy children, and classrooms filled with learning have made these first weeks special. It is a joy to see students enjoying school, reconnecting with friends, and settling into their routines.
We are especially excited to see how much learning our first through third graders have retained in English Language Arts (ELA). Students are bringing strong skills into the new year, giving us a great foundation to build upon. Soon, we will begin our WIN—“What I Need”—groups in ELA for kindergarten through sixth grade and in math for third through sixth grade. These groups provide focused instruction and support based on each student’s learning needs.
Our Boosterthon Fun Run is coming up on September 25! Students will run and walk to raise money for field trips, assemblies, and other experiences that enrich learning at Farmin Stidwell. Please register your child and share their fundraising page with family and friends. Every contribution helps create meaningful opportunities for our students!
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Jake Humble, Tim Stevens, and Berts Mini Storage for graciously donating a new storage system for our district resource closet. Their generosity helps us organize and care for resources that support our students and families. What a wonderful gift to our school community.
Thank you for partnering with us as we begin another year of learning and growing together. We are so glad your children are part of our Farmin Stidwell family.
With gratitude,
Dr. Betsy Dalessio
Principal, Farmin Stidwell Elementary
