By: Kelcyahna Tisby, 10th grade
On December 4th, 5th, and 6th, Stacey Jr./Sr. High School presented The Addams Family, a
musical comedy that filled the auditorium with laughter each night. The show blended dark
humor with a few heartfelt moments, bringing the beloved spooky characters to life in an
engaging and entertaining way.
The cast rehearsed for months to perfect their performances, while the tech crew worked behind
the scenes to create the costumes, lighting, and sets that shaped the show’s atmosphere.
Thanks to the dedication of the students and directors, all three performances were a
memorable success enjoyed by the entire audience.

Students enjoyed planning their goals with our school counselors in the
Library this week before checking out a book. Having goals is such a great thing!
Our students are getting a good start for the New Year! We have really loved seeing
some beautiful creations come into the library to help decorate for the holiday season!
You still have time to make a creation with your child and send it in for a free book.
Next week, we have some more dress up days and a few little surprises before we
begin our holiday break...Joy!

The Student-Teacher-School Compact is a shared agreement that outlines how students, families, and educators will work together to support academic success. This partnership highlights our shared responsibility for student learning by setting clear expectations for teachers, parents, and students. Together, we create a strong foundation that encourages achievement, accountability, and a positive learning environment. |
Greetings all!
The last 4 years we have sold out of yearbooks!
Order yours now with the early bird price of $30 until Dec. 31st.
After that the price will increase to $40.
There is always a mad dash at the end of the year!
You can avoid all of that by ordering early! :)
Here is a sneak peek at this school years cover!

With the late Thanksgiving break, the holiday season is quickly approaching, and with it comes school breaks and schedule changes.
We know that gifted children often thrive on ongoing intellectual engagement—and that curiosity doesn’t pause just because school is out. Here are three simple and meaningful ways families can support their child’s social, emotional, and academic growth during the holiday break. Wishing you and your family a restful and joyous holiday!
|
1. Explore Local Culture & Experiences
Consider visiting a museum, science center, aquarium, theatre performance, planetarium, or botanical garden. These hands-on experiences nurture curiosity and provide authentic learning opportunities. If your schedule and budget allow a day trip or visit to a historical site can offer wonderful enrichment.
2. Collaborative Home Projects
Breaks are a perfect time to involve your gifted child in useful, creative home improvement projects. Children who enjoy STEM activities might help analyze ways to reduce household energy use.
Other project ideas include:
- Assembling furniture
- Organizing a closet, bedroom, or garage
- Helping with yard work, composting, or cleaning
These projects help build executive functioning skills while giving children a sense of ownership and contribution.
3. Give Back Through Volunteering
Service activities are powerful for developing empathy, leadership, and a sense of purpose. Families can get involved in many ways during the holidays:
Volunteering benefits everyone—and can be especially meaningful for gifted students who are often passionate about helping others.
