Weekly Recap
​
Our Winter 1 sports season was a roaring success! Between the energy of Girls Volleyball and Boys Basketball, our gyms were buzzing with excitement and school spirit. The teams demonstrated great teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship throughout the season—way to go, Stimson athletes!
In addition, our Dance Team brought home a big win, earning 1st place in the Pom Division at their recent competition. Their talent and dedication were on full display, and we couldn’t be prouder!
A special shoutout goes to 8th grader Vera Shamara, who helped the WWHS Girls' Fencing Team secure 2nd place in their competition.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to these amazing accomplishments. Let’s keep the momentum going as we head into the next chapter of the school year!
Go, Stimson!

Welcome to Breakfast at Stimson
​

This school year our Nutrition Program will be providing both breakfast and lunch meals at no charge to all of our students. For school arrival each morning, we have placed kiosks at the different entrances to the building; each one stocked with breakfast choices for our students. The locations were chosen to make sure everyone can "grab" a quick breakfast and be on their way to homeroom in a timely fashion. 

Make your family mornings a bit less hectic and join us for breakfast !!
