Meet the Teacher

At this annual event, students and parents may come to school shortly before the school year begins to find out who their teacher is, and to visit the classroom for an introduction to the coming year.  The PTA shares information packets, and sponsors car pool sign ups.  Parents may purchase items, such as the PTA School Year Calendar, vintage Stone t-shirts, magnets and stickers.    You can also check out Stone Student art and poetry cards and Stone Staff Trading Cards.  Refreshments are served.

Red Ribbon Parade/Rally

High School Bands, Cheerleaders, and local celebrities join Stone students and staff in saying a resounding "NO" to Drug abuse during Red Ribbon Week each year in October.In 2010-11, Stone will sponsor a Red Ribbon Rally, rather than a parade, due to the cost of hiring off duty police officers for traffic control.
