Stafford MSD kicks off school year with Party on the Plaza, car show and meet-and-greets
Summary
Stafford Municipal School District held 'We Are 1' Party on the Plaza and related events, including an auto show to benefit the high school's automotive program and meet-and-greets at the Early Childhood Center and STEM Academy.
Stafford Municipal School District held its 'We Are 1' Party on the Plaza and an annual auto show to mark the start of the school year. The events aimed to connect families, students and staff and to raise funds for school programs.
Trustee Patricia Sosa Montelongo helped organize the car show, which the transcript says benefits the high school's automotive program. "I'm Patricia Sosa Montelongo trustee, and I'm here with Suzette Thompson, trustee," Montelongo said during the event. Trustee Suzette Thompson thanked vendors and emphasized safety in school zones.
City Council member Xavier Herrera attended and offered support: "I am very honored to be here today at Stafford MSD's We Are 1 event," he said, urging community support for students and teachers. The transcript also records a speaker identified as Alex Chen saying he was present to join the celebration and noting alumni participation in the car show and donations to the school.
At the Early Childhood Center meet-and-greet, Principal Twila Hines and Assistant Principal Ayesha Atkinson said the event helps parents drop off supplies, meet teachers and learn about programs such as PTO activities and district offerings. Hines described the night as an opportunity to "meet the parents as well as our new little Spartans" and highlighted programs including arts-in-a-day and a cheer clinic.
School officials encouraged families to pick up schedules, sign up for devices and engage with campus staff ahead of the first day of classes.
