Students at Stevenson had a surprise guest reader on September 11, when D63 Assistant Superintendant of Teaching & Learning Aaron Roberson stopped by to share a book. The visit was part of a full morning he spent at the school, meeting with teachers, observing classrooms, and getting to know the students. 

Stevenson was one stop on a planned "tour of schools" Roberson is taking as he jumps into his new position (Roberson was previously Principal of Apollo School). The goal is to gain an indepth perspective of all seven D63 schools - their students, teaching, and classroom environments.

The playground was jam packed on September 14 as Apollo families and staff gathered for a Back-to-School picnic on a beautiful evening. While students shot baskets, spun hulu hoops, clambered over the play equipment, and acquired some awesome face painted works of art, parents chatted, connected with teachers, and checked out the spirit wear.

All enjoyed the chance to linger in the warm autumn air, listen to music, nosh on pizza and other goodies, and just spend time together as a school community.
