Happy New Year! I hope this newsletter finds you well and refreshed after a wonderful holiday season. I wanted to share some important updates and information with you. As we enter the new year, encourage your child to set academic and personal goals. Whether it's improving study habits or exploring new interests, setting goals can help motivate and focus our students.

STUCO Sr. Citizen Luncheon
The Archie High School STUCO hosted their annual senior citizen luncheon on December 6th.
6th Grade Art Trip
Sixth grade art took a field trip to Scraps KC. They learned more about artists' efforts to use recycled materials to create new things. They were able to explore the educational center where they learned more about Scraps KC's mission and start-up. Sixth grade also volunteered and created fun “make and take” kits for others (as well as one for themselves), and strolled through the shop of scraps. If you want to learn more about Scraps KC, I highly recommend visiting their website or dropping in. They have great resources for teachers, and they are currently working on getting teachers free supplies for school!
