So much holiday fun! The classrooms at Starr Elementary were filled with lots of festivities leading up to break. From a visit from an elf, to reindeer games, to cookie decorating, to special arts and crafts, the Rock Starrs were all smiles!
The Starr Elementary first graders from Mrs. Gonyeau’s class teamed up with their Book Buddies from Mrs. Pelc's fifth grade class to make Christmas cards for residents at the Life Care Center in Plainwell. They had a lot of fun working together, all while learning the importance of giving back to our amazing community! 💙

The Starr Elementary second grade students in Mrs. VanGoeye's and Mrs. Mielke's classes had a special visitor this week, as former Starr translator, Ms. Veen, stopped by their classrooms. During her visit, Ms. Veen shared about her current experience as a translator in Honduras and presented each student with a letter from one of her students. In return, the Starr students are working on writing their new pen pals a letter this week, so Ms. Veen can deliver them when she returns to Honduras after break. It has been an amazing experience for these second graders to learn about another country and culture.
Who doesn't love a great holiday tradition?! It was great fun at Gilkey, Cooper and Starr Elementary Schools as the Middle and High School Choirs performed for the students at their annual holiday caroling tour throughout the district. This annual caroling event includes a number of holiday classic songs, as well as a few new favorites...including a special appearance from "Olaf". It is always a favorite for all the students and staff involved, the smiles were priceless!
