Staunton Elementary School

Fifth-graders in Mrs. Best's math class used five pieces of paper plus one yard of masking tape to try to create the strongest chairs possible. To measure which group had the strongest chairs, we used the weight of pennies. Two groups had chairs that were able to hold 215 pennies! #TerrierPride #LeadChallengeAchieve

Concordia has asked us to spread the word! If you're looking for something to do on December 21st, go check them out!

Unit 2 of 4th grade's ELA curriculum is nonfiction reading focused on the Middle Ages. Students in Mrs. Miller's class were challenged to use text evidence from the Chapter 6 reading to recreate the Battle of Hastings. Using details from the text, students created shields and weapons based on the role they were assigned and what army they were part of. (English: foot soldiers, simple weapons and a shield wall. Normand: knights, archers, foot soldiers and an attack/retreat tactic.) King Herald fell to the Duke of Normandy who was later crowned William I of England. What a great way to bring this battle to life!⚔️ #TerrierPride #LeadChallengeAchieve

THANK YOU VETERANS! Also, a big thank you to Mr. Smiddy, the High School Honor Guard, and 3 of Staunton's finest Veterans (George Compton, Brad Lemke, & Wayne Bruhn), who continue to share their love of country and passion with our students. The Honor Guard, in its inaugural year, graced the students with the presentation of colors as they marched through the halls of SCUSD #6. One could hear a pin drop as they made their way through. A humble reminder how much our troops of present and past, mean to us at Staunton Schools. Happy Veteran's Day everyone!

Picture retake day is next Wednesday, November 13th! #TerrierPride #BulldogPride #LeadChallengeAchieve
