📣 Stinger Family, Game Day Expectations! As we kick off our basketball athletic season, please remember that students attending extracurricular events after school as spectators must have a parent or guardian with them for the entire event. Students will not be allowed to remain after school to wait on the game. Any students without a parent or guardian present will not be allowed to attend. Thank you for helping us create a safe and supportive environment for all our students and families. We can't wait to see everyone showing their Stinger pride!

Dear Maumelle Community and Stinger Families,
It is time to get ready for our Annual Stinger Christmas Tree. This is our way of bringing holiday cheer to some of our amazing students who need a little extra help. If you would like to take ornaments off of our tree, please feel free to stop by anytime starting November 18th and check them out in the front office. We ask that all new unwrapped gifts be returned by December 18th. We are so thankful for each person who has helped make this a success for the past three years. We expect this year to be no different. If you have any questions, please contact Sharon Tackett at 501-851-8990. Thank you! Go Stingers!!!

Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed tonight. Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. - meaning you "gain" an hour of sleep. There are only two states that don't observe DST: Hawaii and Arizona (with the exception of Navajo Nation). #pcssdproud #serveall

Celebrated in Mexico, Día de los Muertos has roots in both ancient Aztec customs and All Souls' Day introduced by the Spanish in the 1500s. This holiday centers on families gathering to pay respect to friends and family who have died. #pcssdproud #serveall
Ms. Martin's art classes have begun the papermaking process! By taking recycled paper and a bit of construction paper, students experimented with different size frames and different colors of paper. Each student found their role in the process by either using the blender, pressing the paper or organizing the drying paper. The paper will be used in a nature collage project. Ms. Benton's 6th grade class came over as a guest class to join the fun!
Our Spanish students have been working on a project for Día de Muertos, a tradition that honors deceased loved ones and celebrates their lives on November 1 and 2. They created:
🌺“ La Catrina,” which symbolizes the cycle of life and serves as a reminder to enjoy life and accept death.
🌺 “Ofrenda,” an altar where students placed photos of athletes, musicians, artists, writers, PCSSD coworkers, family members, pets, and more who recently passed away.
🎃Happy Halloween!🎃 If your family celebrates, share what your student will dress up as this year! #pcssdproud #serveall
