Ms. Farrar does more behind the scenes in the classroom and whole school than we could ever ask for. Ms. Farrar has the ability to make her ideas come to life to ensure all students feel like they are part of our school community. She is driven to constantly improve the culture of our school, knowledgeable in reaching different learners, and passionate about providing the best educational experience to everyone.

Thank you for all of the work you do, Ms. Farrar!

Stagebarn is so lucky to have you!

Emma Sheldon won 3rd place at the 2024 USD Rapid City Area Scripps Regional Qualifier Spelling Bee on February 10, 2024. She competed against the top spellers from schools all over Southwest SD! She will now move on to the STATE spelling bee in Vermillion on March 23rd! Way to go, Emma!!!

They say the best form of flattery is dressing up like the person you admire!

We decided to dress up like our administrators.

Mr. Olson day consisted of Khaki Pants and Black Shirt.

Mrs. Christensen is always saying "Happy Day." We decided to add 'Happy Day' to our shirts, Glitter if possible, a vest, and our hair in a ponytail.

We are so lucky to work with Mrs. Christensen and Mr. Olson.

Stagebarn has such a fun outgoing team.

Choir Solo and Ensemble Contest will be held at Stagebarn on February 27, throughout the day. All choir students had the option to participate in this contest. If they signed up, they have an assigned performance time. (If you didn't receive the full schedule, email Mrs. Hill at Hillary.Hill@k12.sd.us for a copy of the schedule.) They will be singing for a judge to receive a rating and comments. Choir students participating need to remember to dress up this day. Choir students from Sturgis will also be bussed over to participate.

Good luck to all participants!
