Congratulations Mrs. Kim Schmid for being our MS October Staff Member of the Month. Comments from fellow staff members: This lady's classroom is a safe haven. Every student on the town campus walks through her doors. No one else can say that! She is a fixture in every student, K-8th's, school life. We are fortunate that hers is the face and the energy that promotes reading for every student.
As an educator, she is organized and prepared. She sends out updates for ARROW weeks in advance and tries to get the staff involved with each other and the students in new ways, like dressing up for Halloween and secret pal exchanges. Her lesson plans are mapped out for the rest of the semester. She is consistent, willing to help new teachers, and doesn't back down to injustice.
She likes to get people - students and staff - involved with one another. She brings excitement to school. She also is always willing to share lessons and ideas with other teachers. We’re fortunate to have her in the library!
Thank you Mrs. Schmid for doing all that you do for Stockton MS!


Congratulations to the volleyball team for their 3rd place finish in the Stockton Tournament. Today’s games pushed their record to 15-5-2. Great job!


BIG thanks to the Chamber for throwing the ARROW kids a reward pizza party for their part in the Lake Clean Up!
