STELLY’S DAILY BUZZ
Thursday, April 23rd, 2026
GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
Fill the Hive Food Drive is happening in one week, on Wednesday April 29th and we are still looking for volunteers to help us collect donations from 4-8 that day. Signup sheets are available on the grade level google classrooms or through the link on Stelly's Instagram! Come out for a fun night to help us help those in need and even for the provided pizza party at the end of the night!
Our student parking lot is starting to get very busy as more students obtain their driver’s licence. As a reminder to students, parking spots are not able to be reserved - they are first-come-first-served (& must be registered with the office). And you are asked to NOT park in spots designated “Reserved” or “Visitor” as these are for our staff and guests only. Thank you.
School bus registration for the 2026/27 school year is now open. Please use this link to the Registration page:
