Debate Club
**Info Meeting: Thursday, September 1, 2022 (6:00 pm, SRES MPR)**
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.

Giving Tree
**November/December 2022**
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 Adopt-a-Family 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.
There is a "Giving Tree" set up in the front office displaying apples and leaves with items on the families' wish lists. If you would like to purchase a gift or gift card for one of the families, you can choose an apple/leaf off the tree, purchase the gift and drop it off in the front office during school office during school hours with the leaf/apple. Please attach a gift receipt or write the amount on the gift cards.
If you can't make it into the office, you can also sign up to donate online.
Thank you in advance for helping make this holiday season one filled with kindness, generosity and love for families at our school and in our district! If you have any questions, please contact Lori McNulty.
