Starr Elementary ended the year with their annual Starr Strut. During the course of their fundraising, they unlocked different prizes as a school including Hat and Sunglasses Day, Duckett Bucket Day, Kona Ice, Outdoor Picnic Lunch, Water Recess and a Glow Dance Party. Individual prize winners got to enjoy a special trip to M-89 Cinema to see Super Mario Galaxy, have a Culver's picnic lunch with Mrs. Luckett and more! Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Carrier's classes both enjoyed a special movie day with popcorn and candy for being the top-earning classes for their grade levels.

With massive support from their school community, they were able to raise over $23,000 to support Starr Parents Association which directly benefits Starr students and Staff. Way to go, Rock Starrs! ⭐️

Although we said goodbye to the school year and welcomed summer break earlier this month, we still think it would be fun to relive and reflect on the joyous events and celebrations that marked the end of the 2025/26 school year. In the coming week, we will share some highlights - from special events, to celebrations, to conclusions and new beginnings - we are excited to revisit the moments that made the end of the school year so special.

🐨 To start things off, let’s look back at a fun memory from Cooper. During the final week of school, students participated in their annual Fire Truck Cool Off! A special shout-out to the Cooper Township Fire Department for making this event so enjoyable for the Koalas each year. Everyone had a fantastic time, filled with laughter and smiles!
