The Rapids Report
January 31st, 2022
Dear STrEaM Families,
This week we turn the calendar to February. We’re almost halfway through the 3rd quarter, which ends for students on Thursday, March 3rd. Students begin Spring Break Friday, March 4th, returning to start Q4 on Monday, March 14th.
This coming Saturday our Robotics team will participate in the State competition! We’re proud of them and can’t wait to share their successes with all of you. Go Rapids!
The 22-23 Lottery opens Tuesday. Please share our posts and spread the word about our program with your family and friends. Returning students do not need to re-apply.
The Social-Emotional Learning topic this week is “taking responsibility.” We can all encourage students to take responsibility for their own actions, regardless of blame or the actions of others. We own what we do, how we react and respond, how we treat one another and the choices we make.

Please help with recruiting for 22-23 by sharing and spreading the word about our school. Please share and pass on social media posts, and see Mrs. Biondich for flyers and posters if you have a place to distribute them.
Ski Team info
On Monday 1/31 we will be practicing our classic style skiing at STrEaM. Tuesday, also at STrEaM, will be our day to work on waxing skis and getting ready to race. Our first ski race is Wednesday 2/2 at 5:30 PM at Bartlett High School. Skiers will catch the bus at 4:00 PM Wednesday at STrEaM to go to that race. Estimated bus return time 7:30 PM. 2022 Race Schedule: We are so fortunate that the snow came back after that warm spell. We had 37 skiers again on the trails Friday 1/2). That is amazing! Thanks to all our parent volunteer drivers, and coaches!
This coming Thursday 2/3 we will be gearing up for skate skiing at STrEaM. On Friday 2/4 we will practice at Russian Jack. (Our first day to skate ski on groomed trails this season!!!)

Be patient with staff and other drivers, follow directions and traffic laws in the parking lot and neighborhood.
