Ms. Chaney's and Mr. Pipkins' classes sign the Big Red E! These have been mysteriously displayed in the hallways last week but revealed today that they are READY for the tests tomorrow! See the story below:
"The Red E's Big Day"
Once upon a time in the Land of the Stingers, there lived a bright, bold letter named Red E. He wasn't just red on the outside — he was red with energy, red with effort, and red with excitement.
From the very first day of the school year, Red E had a goal. "One day," he said, "I will be ready for the ATLAS Test, the biggest challenge at Maumelle Middle School!”
While other stingers played or napped, Red E practiced reading passages, solving math puzzles, and learning new things every single day. Whenever things got tough, he whispered to himself, “I’m not just any E — I’m a Red E!”
Seasons changed, and the big day finally came. The classroom buzzed with nerves, but Red E stood tall and proud. His pencil was sharp, his mind was sharp, and his heart was full of confidence.
As he sat down for the test, he smiled and said,
“This is it. I’ve worked hard. I’ve grown strong. I am Red E, and he was.”
What about you? Are you like Red E?
Repeat after me! We are Red E, Red E, faster!
Ready, Ready, Ready!
Now let's go sign the big Red E!!!!
Go Stingers!!!

Stinger Scholars, please remember that ATLAS Testing starts tomorrow, April 15. Charge your Chromebook every night, get a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast and come to school ready to do your best on the test! Remember our testing incentives, too! Thank you! Go Stingers!!!
