Starr Parents Association

Starr Parents Association Starr Parents Association is a volunteer based non-profit that benefits Starr Elementary School.

We are a non-profit group comprised of volunteers from Starr Elementary. Anyone associated with a Starr student is an automatic member...you decide how you want to participate. We have many committees you can read about and, hopefully, join. The more hands we have helping, the less work on person has to do.

Happy Friday, Starr Families!

After the whirlwind that was May, we definitely needed a breather!

The Starr Strut brought so much joy this year and we loved being able to finish off the school year with experience prizes for all of the money we raised. Between Hat Day, Duckett Bucket Day, Kona Ice, Picnic Lunch, Water Recess and the Glow Party for all students--the joy was palpable.

Our various prize earning students got to enjoy Super Mario Galaxy at m89, a Culver's Picnic Lunch with Mrs. Luckett, Popsicles, Water Balloon Fights and getting to see their faces on the scoreboard at the Strut depending on their prize level. They seemed to really love participating in these and we will definitely keep this prize structure in mind as we move forward.

We would like to thank everyone who helped pull this month of craziness off. Teachers and staff were so patient with us as we added even more to their plates during an already crazy time for educators. District employees came out to help on the field, parent volunteers helped spread joy and keep kids safe. We are so grateful for our community and for all of you who help us make Starr a great place to be.

Please feel free to share any photos you may have taken at the Strut below! We'd love to see them :)

Special thanks to: Gun Plain Township Fire Department & DJTJ Entertainment for providing all of the FUN!

🚨Stay tuned🚨

***Update: we are at $19,403!!! Less than $600 to reaching our Glow Party with DJTJ at $20K keep it up Rock Starrs!!!!!

We are so excited it’s almost time for Starr Strut and the weather is looking warm and sunny!
We have raised $18,300!!! We still need $1700 to make our Glow Party goal and have until Wednesday May 27th at noon to bring in money.

Event Reminders:
1. Students need to wear their grade level t-shirts, if you have misplaced yours- have your student wear a shirt of a similar color.

2. Sneaker shoes preferred!

3. Please plan on leaving backpacks overnight if you plan on signing your student out after Strut. This makes it much easier for everyone involved! If your student normally brings cold lunch, maybe pack a paper bag lunch on Tuesday!

4. Parents and guardians are welcome to walk or watch on the home side bleachers.

5. We will have a fire truck from Gun Plain Township spraying the kids on a portion of the track so if they choose to get wet you may want to bring a towel.

6. Event begins at 2pm with 5th grade and then we will release 3rd/4th at 2:05, 1st/2nd at 2:10, and Y5/K at 2:15. Everyone will be out on the track from 2:15-2:50

7. Sign out begins at 2:50- students will make their way to line up on the football field with their teacher and get their popsicle. From there, parents of kids bringing their students home will make their way to their student's teacher(s) on the field to sign their student out with their teacher and receive a sticker. Once your student has been signed out and has received their sticker, they may exit through the concession stand entrance. If your student does not have a sticker, you will be asked by office staff to go back and get one. This is to ensure the safety of all of our students! All other students will head back to Starr with their teacher or staff member and will be dismissed like normal.
