Art Show

May 2025
Each May, our students choose their favorite piece of artwork to showcase in the annual Stone Ranch Art Show. 

Book Fair

November 4-8, 2024
Stone Ranch PTA's annual book fair has something for every young reader. The Stone Ranch Book Fair is the main source of funding for our school library. Up to 55% of the proceeds go directly to our school to provide needed books and supplies for the library - as well as for our children's classrooms.

Students visit the fair during scheduled times, and parents, grandparents and caregivers are welcome during operating hours. 

Debate Club

September - December 2024
The Stone Ranch Debate Club is an after-school enrichment program sponsored by the PTA in which students learn how to participate in the formal contest of argumentation between teams. More importantly, students appreciate debate as a way to discuss controversial issues without descending to insult, emotional appeals, or personal bias. Our students learn research skills, how to analyze and evaluate arguments, and how to defend positions they may or may not personally believe in. Debate Club helps to expand each child’s critical thinking skills while exposing them to age-appropriate topics currently discussed in our society.

Each year we enroll approximately sixty 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders to work on important elements of debate. This year Debate Club will run virtually with pre-recorded lessons sent to the students weekly

See Blazer Bulletin for more information on the Stone Ranch Debate Club.

Family Dance

Fun Run

September 2024
The Fun Run is an exciting way to promote a healthy and active lifestyle while also raising much needed funds for our teachers and classrooms.

Giving Tree

November - December, 2024
The holidays are a time of giving and receiving, but did you know that we have families right here at Stone Ranch who may not be able to give their children as much as they would like to for the holidays this year?  The Giving Tree program is a district-wide program where parents, students, faculty and staff help provide gifts and gift cards to be distributed to families who may need a little something extra this season. ​

Hand Tiles

Spring 2025
Your child can add his or her handprint to the collection of hand tiles decorating the walls of Stone Ranch and / or have a personal keepsake handprint for you to cherish at home. The hand tiles are a Stone Ranch tradition which we hope you will join in.

International Fair

May 2025
Stone Ranch Elementary hosts an annual International Fair to celebrate our school's diversity.  Families are invited to represent their native country at the International Fair by hosting a booth. Each country will have a station to display information, food and various cultural items. With wonderfully detailed booths, food samplings, and cultural performances, this event consistently proves to be a fabulous celebration of the rich cultural diversity that exists in our school community. ​

Math Olympiad

Math Olympiad is an after-school enrichment program designed to foster students' interest in math and problem solving. The program provides an opportunity for students in grades 3-5 to participate, learn, build confidence in their math skills, and have fun by participating in coaching sessions, mock tests, practice sessions and monthly contests.
