🎉✨ Congratulations to our Stanley High School Student of the Year Candidates! ✨🎉

We are so proud to celebrate these outstanding students who have worked hard, shown leadership, and represented what it truly means to be a PROUD Panther! 💙🤍

Each of these students has demonstrated dedication, character, and Panther pride both in and out of the classroom. This week, they completed an interview process as part of the selection for Stanley High School’s Student of the Year — and we couldn’t be prouder of the way they represented themselves and our school! 🐾

🏆 The Student of the Year winners will be announced tomorrow, Friday, October 17, 2025, during our 9 Weeks Awards Ceremonies!

Help us give these incredible students a huge round of applause in the comments below! 👏👏

🖼️✨ Our 2nd grade students are learning to think critically and work together in Social Studies! They studied images of Inuit Art and added their thoughts to “Notice & Wonder” posters. Afterward, students shared ideas and discussed what each piece of art could mean. Such a fun way to explore culture, creativity, and collaboration! 💡🤝🎨

Magnificent Creations!
Mrs. Boyett’s and Mrs. Ward’s classes worked together in groups to turn “junk” into something magnificent! First, they read the book "The Most Magnificent Thing" and they discussed habits of character. They discussed persevering, collaboration, initiative, etc. They planned their ideas, then built their creations, and finally wrote about them. Students made all kinds of amazing things—including a cat, bunny, car, camera, boat, garage, crown, necklace, action figure, giraffe, lighthouse, truck, phone case, castle, and even a bobcat!
