Welcome back to another exciting school year! We have had a wonderful start to the term, filled with enthusiasm, fresh energy, and strong connections across our entire school community.

Last week held special significance as we marked the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Our school honored this historic milestone with a deeply moving memorial walk celebrating local hero Peter Nelson, the former Huntington Manor Fire Chief who perished on 9/11. Leading up to the event, students engaged in meaningful research projects to learn about each victim—their backgrounds, families, and stories—helping to build a reflective tribute at Peter Nelson Park.

During the walk, students passed displays highlighting the names and faces of those lost, taking moments of quiet reflection before laying carnations together to construct an American flag. Beyond reflecting on the tragedy itself, our students focused on the inspiring wave of togetherness, resilience, and kindness that brought communities together in the days following the attacks. This touching tribute served as a powerful reminder of how empathy and community spirit continue to unite us all.

Stimson students may not use their cell phones during the school day. Students MUST secure their phones in their lockers at the start of the school day where it will be stored until dismissal. We will be communicating this to students regularly throughout the month of September. As of October 1st, any student found with their cell phone during the school day will have their phone taken and held until a parent or guardian can pick it up from school. Additional instances will result in detention.

All Students enrolled in SHUFSD are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch in the 26/27school year!
