Middle School

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! Ms. Kowal, our Student Council advisor and librarian, has set up an Amazon Wishlist for items needed in our Stinger Store. If you are not familiar with the Stinger Store, students can earn Stinger Bucks throughout the day for showing positive academic and behavioral growth and for following our four expectations: Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be a Graduate. Then, every other week, students are able to purchase goodies from our Stinger Store using those well-earned Stinger Bucks! If you are interested in contributing to the Stinger Store, please click on the Amazon Wishlist link below: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1QZAFWY87B386?ref_=wl_share From there, you can select which items you'd like to purchase, and it will automatically be shipped to our school for student use! Thank you for your consideration, and we greatly appreciate this community for its support of our students! Thank you!

They reflected on fixed mindset thoughts they may have and had to change them into growth mindset thoughts.

Our grade-level winners of this poster competition were: 6th grade: Reata Jones & Veda McCarthy! 7th grade: Zedekiah Spiers! 8th grade: Luca Schmidt! Congratulations to our winners and great work everyone! If you ever have the chance, please stop by our middle school as all of the Growth Mindset posters will be hung up proudly in our halls!

Last Saturday, some of our amazing Middle School students competed at National History Day 2025 in Helena. Students were to research and create a project that corresponded with this year's theme of Rights & Responsibilities in History. The key to this theme was addressing BOTH rights AND responsibilities. These are two powerful forces in history, but one does not work without the other. Our social studies teachers, Mr. Buerkle, Ms. Frandsen, and Mr. Wells supported our students as they prepared and then presented in Helena for the first round of competition. Our students did a great job presenting on different topics ranging from Women's Rights to the Sinking of the Titanic. All of our students will advance to the state competition which will be in Bozeman in April! Great work students and teachers on representing Stevensville Middle School!

The Stevensville School District is excited to announce four superintendent finalists! Interviews are scheduled for February 26th. We encourage you to attend the community meet and greet in the MPR starting at 3:30PM. Interviews begin at 4:30PM.
