Congratulations to those who performed at the band concert last night! Well done - we are so proud of you!

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Stelly’s students, families and numerous community members for their very generous donations to our Kindness Drive this month! The outpouring of support has been astounding and we are so proud of the Stelly’s community! Happy Holidays!

The lost and found table keeps having things added instead of taken away. Please swing by the table next to the main office and see if there is something of yours. All unclaimed items will be donated on Friday!
