Spreading Holiday Cheer to Steele Teachers & Staff!

As the holiday season approaches, please help us spoil our amazing Steele staff and teachers with a special lunch before winter break. PTO is asking for volunteers to help show our educators how very appreciated they are! When you sign up please put in the comment what you are bringing so that we can avoid duplicates. No time to cook? You can VENMO Ashley Shinn a montetary donation and we will use funds to purchase items for slots that need filled. Items should be dropped off in the office by 10:30 AM. We have approximately 70 staff members. If you have any questions please call or text Ashley Shinn 309-335-3726.

Please make sure your student is coming to school with weather appropriate outerwear for recess and remind them that it needs to be worn. We have had several students attempt to go outside the last few days with short sleeves on!

We have hats, gloves, scarves and coats if you are in need. Please call the office to request these items.

Thank you to First United Methodist Church for providing extra food to our Steele Star families for winter break. This ensures that our students are feed for the time they are out of school. A special shout out to Miss Henry's 4th grade class for helping unload the bags!

The Shine in #205 program is a way for you to salute any CUSD #205 employee who goes above and beyond what is expected. Whether you are a parent/guardian impressed with that special touch your student's teacher added to a moment, a coworker who thinks their colleague doesn't hear often enough about the great job they are doing, or a community member who witnessed a staff member's commitment to students-you can submit a Shine nomination!
