Chelsea provides top-notch care for Anderson 3 students. Her quick actions not only protect students from serious injury but have led to the life-saving treatment of student-athletes. Thank you for being an #A3AllStar on and off the playing field! 💛

The school year started sweeter for our staff this week when Jackie's Starr Mart & Cafe provided sweet treats for every staff member in the district! ⭐🤍
This photo is from when Jackie's donated money for the Starr 4-H Program! 4-H Sponsor/Teacher Brandon Watt said, "Starr-Mart's continual support of Starr Elementary goes beyond financial contribution. Starr-Mart has integrated itself as an essential part of our Community, one that fosters a sense of family for our students and staff. We can always count on Greg, Jackie, Mrs. Pat, and the rest of the Starr-Mart crew to come through with open hearts, great food, and endless support for our classrooms, student projects, and programs. As the 4-H leader at Starr Elementary, I am so grateful for all they have done to support our program, from sponsoring students to assisting in fundraising. Our Community is greater because of Starr-Mart!"
Thank you, Jackies Starr Mart and Cafe, for always supporting #A3Students!
