Good Afternoon Middle School Families, Our lost and found is filling up. With the weather warming up, we have a lot of students leaving their coats outside during recess. If your child is missing any of their winter gear, there's a good chance it either here or in the Primary building! Feel free to stop in and take a look when you are picking up your students at the end of the day. Have a great Thursday!

Dear Stevensville Middle School Families & Community, If you are looking for a chance to contribute to our Middle School Stinger Store, we have a great opportunity for you!

Then, every other week, students are able to purchase goodies from our Stinger Store using those well-earned Stinger Bucks!
