🌱🔎 Becoming Habitat Scientists! 🐦🌿

Our 2nd graders are learning all about plant and animal relationships in science! After reading a story about a young girl who created her own study site and returned each day to observe and learn about the habitat around her, our students decided to become scientists themselves! 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬

Students created their own observations of our school habitat, taking time to look closely at the plants and animals around them. They recorded notes, drew pictures, measured plants, and listened carefully for sounds to help them learn more about their surroundings. 🌳📏👂📝

Through this hands-on investigation, our young scientists are discovering that there is so much to learn when we simply slow down, observe, and ask questions about the world around us! 🌎💚

✈️ Real-World Math in Financial Literacy! 💰🛒🌎

Our Financial Math students have been putting their budgeting skills to work through hands-on, real-world challenges! Students tackled a grocery shopping budget, planning meals and shopping for two while staying within a set budget. 🛒🥗 Let’s just say… the grocery prices were a reality check for most! A few students may have gained a whole new appreciation for whoever does the grocery shopping at home. Parents, you’re welcome. 😂

Students also took on the challenge of planning a week-long dream vacation for two with a $2,000 budget, researching transportation, lodging, food, and activities before calculating the total cost of their trip. ✈️🏨🎢

To wrap up their vacation project, students got to “travel” to their destinations and showcase the trips they created! 🧳🌴

We’re learning that math isn’t just about numbers—it’s a tool we can use to make smart, real-life financial decisions. And apparently, it’s also a great way to teach teenagers that groceries aren’t free. 😉

#FirstDayOfSchool #BackToSchool #NewSchoolYear #ReadyToLearn #LetsGo

Earlier this week, the Stanley High School Leadership Team had the opportunity to attend the DeSoto Summer Institute, where we worked alongside district leaders and leadership teams from across the parish to prepare for an incredible 2026–2027 school year!

Throughout the three days, we collaborated, planned, shared ideas, and explored strategies to help our school continue to grow and improve. Every conversation and every plan centered around one priority—our students.

We are excited to bring back new ideas, strengthen the great work already happening at Stanley High School, and continue creating opportunities for every student to learn, grow, and succeed.

The countdown to a new school year is on, and we are ready to hit the ground running! Here's to setting high expectations, reaching new goals, and making the 2026–2027 school year the best one yet.
