Hello everyone, Our student-led #ZeroReasonsWhy suicide prevention group has decided to have a "yellow out" at the home basketball game against Cunningham on Tuesday, Feb. 15th (also senior night). Please help our students raise awareness of youth suicide and support our student group in their prevention efforts by dressing in as much yellow apparel as you can! In addition to the "yellow out", we hope to have a table set up with information and resources, a guest activity, and freebies! The cheerleaders will also be tossing out some free yellow #ZRW t-shirts - you don't want to miss out!

February is Career and Technical Education Month®, which celebrates the achievements and accomplishments of CTE programs across Kansas while providing those programs an opportunity to demonstrate how CTE makes students college and career ready and prepares them for high-demand career fields. CTE plays a significant role in preventing students from dropping out of school and provides a wide variety of opportunities for postsecondary success and employment. Students who are involved in CTE have a higher graduation rate and see higher earnings, per the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE). Here at Stafford, we currently offer 11 Pathways of study for students to choose from. For next fall, we are adding the Programming and Software Development Pathway along with the Business Finance Pathway to continue to broaden opportunities available to our students. This month we will feature various activities going on in our high school in our CTE programs. Stay tuned as we celebrate today and prepare our students to own tomorrow!

Tomorrow's HS games at South Barber have been postponed until Monday, February 14.

Let's take another day off! No school tomorrow, Thursday, February 3rd.
