We jumped right back into the swing of things after Fall break!  It was a busy week with SOR walks, field trips, and the remaining 1/2-day planning times.  There is A LOT of information included in this week's edition of Stinger Stats in preparation for the next two weeks.  Please be sure to read through carefully.  We have another FULL week before conference week.  EXCITING NEWS!  WEST SIDE STINGER NEWS IS BACK, AND BETTER THAN EVER!
