Stacey has been celebrating  diverse cultures by hosting Multicultural Night annually. Long before the infamous festive day was created, its origin, known as the Renaissance Fair, existed.

The Renaissance Fair ,unfortunately, disappeared because of block schedule. It took time away from history to extend time spent in math, causing teachers to scramble for extra time for this project. The Renaissance Fair, now renamed History Walk Through, returns after seven years. Continue reading “The Return of the History Walk Through”

Unmissable Movies #2-What Saves the Kids?

Cool Cat Saves the Kids is all about teaching kids lessons about bullying and such, but really it’s a horrible attempt to be relevant. This “movie” came out on February 1st, 2015. It even gained 3.8/10 stars, but before had a 7.0/10 for “it’s so bad, it’s good” rating.  It is a kid’s safety and bullying movie, but it is horribly different from our generation.

No More Park?

Destiney Hagberg and Leah Kurihara

The park is one of the most popular places to go after school. For one reason, there is more room to wait for your parents and also be with friends.

Stacey’s administration recognizes that it can be much easier for parents to pick students up at the park due to heavy traffic. The problem is the park is not on school grounds, and it does not have the appropriate supervision to meet student safety needs after 3:00 pm. There is no teacher watching, and Stacey’s students can still get in trouble for actions that occur after school. Furthermore, the school can be liable for students until they get home.
