Stevenson DECA is hosting Miracle Minute for the ALS Foundation at the Homecoming game on Friday during halftime. For one minute, our DECA officers and members are going to go up and down the stands with collection bins, receiving donations from spectators for ALS research.

What is ALS? Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy.

Link here to the ALS Association for more information.

BRING YOUR CASH DONATIONS and GET READY TO FILL THE BINS!!

DECA and our Entire Spartan Community thank you for your generosity and support!!

🎀STARTING MONDAY OCTOBER 12 TO OCTOBER 16TH ~ Please celebrate with us. 💗

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to Pierson’s Gift of Soccer Donation Drive! The response was incredible, and we are so grateful for everyone who cleaned out closets, gathered up soccer gear, and helped support this great cause. A special shoutout to Pierson’s Livonia Stevenson Soccer teammates, who were a HUGE part of making this drive such a success! From donating their own gear to helping collect and support the drive, this truly was a team effort both on and off the field! Because of everyone’s generosity, we collected shoes, cleats, jerseys, uniforms, gloves, soccer balls and so much more that will now have a second life in the hands of kids who love the game. Pierson is incredibly appreciative of everyone who helped. It’s pretty amazing to see what the Stevenson Soccer community can accomplish when everyone comes together! Thank you for helping us PASS BACK the gift of soccer!

Reflections is a multi-level arts program that brings students, families, and communities together through the creativity.

Each year, students create original works of art in response to a student-created theme. Students can enter one or more arts categories and participate the program division that best fits their grade level or support needs. Based on options available in each state, winning entries may advance for additional recognition at the state and national levels.

In Reflections, each entry must be an original creation inspired by the annual student-created Reflections theme. The theme is what makes Reflections special because every student uses the same theme, no matter their experience with making art.

Each theme inspires students to create and share their ideas through artwork. PTAs use the to engage their entire community in creativity and art-making.

Thank you for helping us recruit and support our schools!

We do not call students out of class based on a parent phone call to the office. Please follow one of these methods:

• To have your student waiting in the office for you: Send a note with them to take (first thing in the morning) to their assistant principal's office before school starts. They will receive a pass to come to the office at the time you designate for their checkout pass. This method is beneficial because the student's attendance will be taken care of in advance, avoiding those robocalls letting you know that your student was absent.

• If you do not send a note: Please call the office about 1.5 - 2 hours before you want the student dismissed. We prepare a pass and have your student ready to go upon your arrival. If you pick up your student in the afternoon, you will receive a robocall regarding the absence. The absence will be excused the following morning by the Attendance Secretary.

IMPORTANT: Anyone picking up a student must show their ID when they arrive. The person picking up the student MUST be in the list of that student's contacts.

Haven't Completed the FAFSA Yet?? No Problem!

This school year saw delays & complications with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Thankfully that is all behind us and financial aid reports have been sending to college & trade school financial aid offices since April. If you have a graduating senior, assist their completion of the FAFSA with the resources below. There has never been a better time for students to use state & federal aid to pay for postsecondary costs. Remember, by filling out the FAFSA you are not accepting loans; your student may be eligible for free money in the form of Grants, Scholarships, Michigan Tuition Assistance Program & the Michigan Achievement Scholarship. The only way to utilize this free financial aid is to do the first step - complete the FAFSA.
