Mobile Library Update!
We are proud to announce that classroom libraries will be delivered by the end of September for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades! These libraries will include a variation of 50% fiction and 50% nonfiction in order to encourage a love of reading! We are looking for donations for our PreK3 and PreK4 libraries, so please donate any appropriate books for this age level. Our teachers attended a professional development workshop in August and will be integrating reading into their regular curriculum as well.

STUDENT NEWS
Welcome New Teachers!
We would like to extend a warm welcome to our new 7th grade teacher, Mr. Adrian Casiano, our new Art Teacher, Ms. Diana Kaminski, and our new Gym Teacher, Ms. Claudia Abbate. Welcome to the Academy!
Space Camp Update
Three St. Stan's students were the privileged recipients of a week-long scholarship program at NASA's Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Two of our eighth graders, Haley Aber and Amanda Piasecki, along with seventh grader, Alex Karniewicz, set off to Space Camp in the middle of July, courtesy of our generous sponsors at Fish and Richardson. While there, they got to experience many of the training activities that astronauts go through when preparing for missions. They performed mock missions, built and set off their own rockets, as well as other activities that ensured this experience will never be forgotten. Once they completed their course, they each graduated on their final day there and received their certificates as official graduates of Space Camp! We are so proud of them!
SSKCA New Family Playdate!  Our families had a great day at the SSKCA playdate!
