We wrapped up our 3rd speaker series with our final NFL Hall-of-Famer and Super Bowl Champion, Darrell Green, as part of our Speaker Series partnership with our Ignite business partner, Grace Covenant. Mr. Green shared a powerful message around responsibility and the importance of staying true to your vision, imagination and dreams to make the most of each day. Students and staff had an opportunity to meet him and talk a little more with him after the live-streaming interview.

Stone Middle School was proud to honor many staff members on Thursday, November 11 who are veterans themselves or a child, parent or spouse of a veteran. We featured them in a Panther News Special Report and interviewed Mr. Daugherty, Mr. Garcia, and Mrs. Johnson to learn more about their military connections and thank them for their service.

The art students collaborated as a small table group to create a design in the style of Keith Harring to visually communicate and promote positivity and acceptance. Using oil pastels, students created bright positive paper murals to distribute around the school community, each group selected their placement choice.

In the 1980’s, Keith Harring produced hundreds of public drawings in rapid rhythmic lines in the NY subways spreading positivity.

It was wonderful to welcome our second featured speaker as part of our Grace Covenant Speaker Series through Panther Block. On Tuesday, we heard some powerful words from Cliff Russell, former NFL player, as he spoke on kindness and empathy. Mr. Russell shared, “Each of us are created for a purpose. We have the ability to choose to build up or tear down, be kind or be mean, encourage or neglect...choose kindness, choose love, choose encouragement.”

October 18-22 was Digital Citizenship Week. This year’s theme brought together digital citizenship and social emotional learning as students explore Social Emotional Learning in Digital Life. Students are online more than ever before, so teaching them how to use technology thoughtfully and responsibly is an essential part of their social and emotional development and academic success. See how Stone MS celebrated this important week!
