  The Return of the History Walk Through Reply
  Announcement, History, Stacey School News
  Stacey has been celebrating diverse cultures by hosting Multicultural Night annually. Long before the infamous festive day was created, its origin, known as the Renaissance Fair, existed.
  The Renaissance Fair ,unfortunately, disappeared because of block schedule. It took time away from history to extend time spent in math, causing teachers to scramble for extra time for this project. The Renaissance Fair, now renamed History Walk Through, returns after seven years. More…

  Cool Cat Saves the Kids is all about teaching kids lessons about bullying and such, but really it's a horrible attempt to be relevant. This "movie" came out on February 1st, 2015. It even gained 3.8/10 stars, but before had a 7.0/10 for "it's so bad, it's good" rating. It is a kid's safety and bullying movie, but it is horribly different from our generation. More…

  Broadcast Journalism will continue to be held in Ms. Walter's room, B4, it is all about creating reports about what is going on at Stacey and important events around the world. This is one of the few classes that require an application More…
  Stacey's administration recognizes that it can be much easier for parents to pick students up at the park due to heavy traffic. The problem is the park is not on school grounds, and it does not have the appropriate supervision to meet student safety needs after 3:00 pm. There is no teacher watching, and Stacey's students can still get in trouble for actions that occur after school. Furthermore, the school can be liable for students until they get home. More…
