Stark Village School Family and Friends,
Attached is our Kindness Challenge Schedule for the week. Don't think you have to do them all, they are simply challenges and ideas for how we can help make another person's day better! Good luck and help us spread some cheer!
"Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change," -Bob Kerrey


Good evening, SAU #58 families and staff. Given the weather forecast, we will have a 2-hour delay tomorrow, February 17, 2025, to allow time for roads and sidewalks to be cleared.

Hello Stark Family and Friends,
Send your Starkie to school in Red to celebrate the kickoff of SVS kindness week!
-Ms. Landry

Community Kindness Night on Tuesday, February 11th, 2025 at 5:30. We'll be listening to a read aloud, writing cards to share with our community and sharing some spaghetti!


Good morning. All after school activities in Groveton, Stark, and Stratford are cancelled today, February 6, due to inclement weather. Stay safe.

Yesterday marked the 100th day of school and the K/1 class was certainly showing their age!



Our friends at the North Country Chamber Players shared information about a few upcoming concerts. If students and parents are interested in going, please reach out to Ms. Mary Louise Formisano @ director@northcountrychamberplayers.org
There are even opportunities to meet the musicians as well!


Stark Spark Sessions are going off with a bang! SVS students that don't have the opportunity to go skiing are getting the chance to learn more about some of their interests and passions during our afternoon Stark Spark Sessions. So far students have learned about chocolate making, crocheting/knitting, building machines with legos, 3D pens, playing board games, and creating crafts. Students sign up for the classes they are interested in and we do our best to get them their first or second choices!
