Boosterthon Run with the Stars Fun Run!

Our Stribling Stars completed their Fun Run February 7 and had a blast! The Boosterthon wrap-up meeting was this past Thursday and we were ecstatic to learn we exceeded our $12,000 goal by over $6,000! The amazing friends and family of our Stars raised over $18,000 for the students and school! We will be getting blinds/shades for the West wall of the cafeteria, picnic tables for the little area behind the school used for outdoor class, reading, and ASP, and teacher wish items like books, organization and storage items, and STEM activities/supplies. We are planning something exiting for the students and are talking with the school about how to get the best benefit out of the extra funds.  Thank you all so much for making this fundraiser so successful! We cannot support the school and students without your amazing support!

September 29-October 5 2019

Grandparent’s Day!

So many loved ones came out and enjoyed lunch with their students! The kids were so excited! Lots of photos were taken and the Book Fair was a hit. The photos will be ordered and sent to the PTO. Once we receive them, we will sort them and deliver them to teachers to be sent home with students. We are hoping to have them to the teachers within 2 weeks.

Book Fair!

The Book Fair was a huge success! Mrs. McCalla and her team of volunteers brought us another amazing week of books and fun! We are so grateful for all their hard work making this happen for our students every semester. Thank you to everyone who was able to support the teachers by donating a Wish Box Book. We have such an amazing Stribling Star family!

All For Books!

Your generosity allowed the school to meet the goal of $1 per student raised. This allowed two boxes full of books to be donated to The Presbyterian Night Shelter! Thank you for your support and compassion.

Spirit Spot!

This Friday, October 4, will be our second Spirit Spot. The first one was such a huge success we had to completely reorder supplies! After we set up the Spirit Spot tomorrow, we will take photos and post them so you and your students can see what is available. This should help keep the lines moving. Keep an eye on Facebook tomorrow for the post!

Spirit Shirts!

Spirit Shirts were delivered to teachers Thursday (Sept 19) and should have made it home with your student’s. We have been blown away by the amount of demand this year for shirts. You all make Spirit Shirt day a success! We have a limited number of youth sizes remaining. If you are interested in one, you are welcome to contact us on Facebook.

Spirit Spot!

The first Spirit Spot of the 2019-2020 was a huge success! Our Stars were so excited to shop the Spirit Spot again! The lines were long and some items sold out, but the student’s remained patient, polite, and considerate. We will be restocked for the next Spirit Spot and ready to go!

Book Fair!

With the help of volunteers, Ms. McCalla completed the Book Fair set-up Friday (Sept 21)! The library has been transformed! Monday (Sept 23), many students will be making a Wishlist to share with their families. You can come in to shop with or without your student, your student can shop on their own, or you can order the books you want through the Book Fair link. If you shop in person, please stop by the teacher Wish boxes and if you are able, purchase a book or two for your student’s teacher to add to their classroom library.  Don’t forget, if you do not want to send cash with your student, you can create an eWallet for them.

All For Books!

Each semester during our Book Fair we encourage All for Books donations, which benefit the Burleson Night Shelter. Your $1 donation makes a difference! Every class that receives a total donation of $1 per student will earn a coveted Free Dress Day! You can still send in a donation with your student in a baggie labeled with their teacher’s name and grade or donate at the Book Fair.

Grandparent’s Day!

Tuesday and Wednesday (Sept 24 & 25) are Grandparent’s Day at Stribling! Grandparent’s and other loved ones are invited to come share lunch with their Star! You are welcome to bring food for your student. Ms. McCalla and her team of volunteers will be looking forward to seeing some beaming Stars showing their loved ones around the Book Fair and a photo booth will be provided by the PTO.
