Hello Storrington Stingers,
We hope that all of our Stingers had a great Easter holiday and enjoyed the long weekend.
Please see the information below in this week’s Week at a Glance.
International Day of Pink
Wednesday, April 12, 2023 is the International Day of Pink. The day is dedicated to creating a more inclusive and diverse world. It is also a day to stand up to homophobic and transphobic bullying and discrimination. We encourage all our Stingers to wear pink to show their support and solidarity towards equity and inclusion.
Storrington Acts of Amazing
It was another busy month for our Storrington Stingers. Collectively, they displayed 423 Acts of Amazing by showing Humility, Honesty, Bravery, Respect, Love, Wisdom and Truth. Our Stingers have earned 2989 marbles so far this year. Great job Stingers!
March Storrington Recognition Certificate Recipients
During our April Spirit and Recognition Assembly, we took the time to celebrate our March Storrington Recognition Certificate Recipients. These students were recognized by their classroom teacher and classmates for consistently showing Respect, Honesty, Humility, Love, Wisdom, Truth and Bravery during the month of September. Congratulations to this month’s recipients- Blake Lakins, Sadie Roberts, Megan Wheeler, Hannah Spencer, Kendra Donnelly, Liam Adams, Brodie Young, Sophia Colby and Everly Hogan.

Students and visitors need to continue to self-screen each day, prior to school.
-Students and staff should stay home when sick. Anyone who is feeling sick or has any new or worsening symptoms of illness (including COVID-19 symptoms) should stay home, until:
-their symptoms have been improving for at least 24 hours (or 48 hours for nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea), and
-they do not have a fever, and
-they do not develop any additional symptoms.
-For a total of 10 days after the start any illness symptom, students and staff should continue to wear a well-fitted mask in all public settings (including schools and childcare, unless under two years old) and avoid non-essential activities where mask removal is necessary.
