Skippers Performance at CHS!

Calling all Skippers!
 

Tuesday, January 23rd

 

Halftime Performance during the

Cedarcrest Girls Varsity Basketball Game

 
The basketball game starts at 6:45 so the performance will probably start between 7:20 & 7:30 pm. and last about 8 minutes.
 
All students will have FREE admission to the game and adults are $5.  If you just want to come in for the performance, it is fine to do so.
 
All Skippers should wear their Skippers or Stillwater shirt and come ready to show off their jump-roping skills!
 
 
Any questions, please email Mr. H!
SW PTSA Survey

Stillwater Community! We are requesting your input. In the past few years, our fundraising partnership with the PTSA has been very successful thanks to your support. Working together, we have been able to replace damaged playground pieces, purchase new stand-alone playground pieces and provide the staff at Stillwater the opportunity to apply for grants for items needed to enhance our students educational experience. Now, we want our community members feedback, what are some things you want us to focus on now?

PLEASE take a few moments by clicking HERE to choose out of a few options but you can also choose "Other" and write-in your suggestion. Your input will help guide our fundraising goals!
 
Thank you so much in advance for your feedback.
