Steck Weekly Announcements 11.06.26

Dear Steck Families,

Thank you to our PTA and Steck families for donating candy to our troops! Your generosity helped many people!

Steck is honoring Veterans Day on November 11. Students and Staff are invited to wear red, white, and blue. We will start our day with a Steck student Scout group leading The Pledge of Allegiance followed by a presentation of staff and student family veteran photos. We are lucky to have some family veterans coming to school to read to classes. Steck looks forward to the opportunity to acknowledge our nation’s true heroes.

Enjoy the weekend!

Sincerely,

Dr. Pohlmann

Steck has two ways to help families in need this holiday season. Thank you for considering participation in these opportunities. This is one of the many ways the Steck community comes together and supports one another.

Giving Tree

This opportunity supports Steck families.

Each year the Steck community provides support to families in need around the winter holidays. If you are interested in helping, please read this information. This opportunity supports Steck families.

Giftmart

This opportunity supports many District 204 families.

This holiday season, we’re supporting Giftmart, a special event that allows invited parents and guardians from under-resourced families to shop for brand-new toys at just $2.00 each. Every dollar raised from these sales is donated directly back to participating schools to help fund much-needed classroom resources.

You can help make this special event possible by donating a new, unwrapped toy for children ages 6–12. (Please, no stuffed animals or board games.)

Giftmart Toy Boxes will be available from November 9 – December 4 at:

High Schools: Metea Valley and Waubonsie Valley

Middle Schools: Crone, Fischer, Granger, Gregory, Hill, Scullen, and Still

Elementary Schools: Brookdale, Brooks, Builta, Cowlishaw, Fry, Graham, Georgetown, Gombert, Kendall, Longwood, May Watts, McCarty, Owen, Patterson, Peterson, Springbrook, Steck, Welch, and Young
