Last Friday of the school year!


The last Friday is making me very reflective on our school year.  Our 8th grade class has set a standard of excellence that will be tough to exceed by future classes, but we have the utmost confidence that our next year’s group of 8th graders will carry on as positive role models and leaders.  On behalf of all staff, we thoroughly congratulate this graduating class- we couldn’t be any more proud to send you to Stevenson in the fall.   

8th Grade Awards Asssemby
This morning, Mrs. Peters (in full tuxedo) did an excellent job facilitating an enthusiastic morning where our 8th grade students celebrated their middle school experience with a variety of awards.  A very special congratulations goes out to our 2013 Superintendent Award winners, Madeline Tobler and Ryan Millman.  With the selection process beginning in April, all staff had a say in awarding this honor, based among other things, leadership, academic or athletic effort, school spirit, and acting as a positive role model to peers.
