As the holiday season approaches, please help us spoil our amazing Steele teachers with some treats throughout the week. 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.

Items may be dropped off in the office by 10:00 AM (with the exception of breakfast items on Wednesday, those should be dropped off Tuesday afternoon/evening or as early as possible Tuesday morning).

If you have any questions please call or text Ashley Shinn 309-335-3726.

Help us spread Christmas Cheer to our Steele teachers & staff! Sign up to bring a treat into the teacher's lounge the week of Dec. 11-15.

The Steele Student Council organized a canned food drive from Monday, November 27th through Friday, December 1st. Each day had a different theme for specific food items.

• Monday = Proteins
• Tuesday = Vegetables
• Wednesday = Grains
• Thursday = Fruit
• Friday = Soups

This food drive benefits those in need in our local community. Every item donated will go directly to our local food bank, Fish Food Pantry. Of course, we also had a little competition between homerooms to see who could bring in the most items.

1st Place: Mrs. Kleine's Classroom (257 canned goods!) They win a HOT COCOA PARTY!
2nd Place: Miss Voyles' Classroom (205 canned goods!)
3rd Place: Mr Stecher's Classroom (196 canned goods!)

We have brought in a GRAND TOTAL of 1,538 canned goods so far! Our goal was to make it to 1,000! We did it! Thank you for all of your support and generous donations!

Our students go outside for recess as long as the real feel temperature is 20 degrees or warmer. To play in the snow, students must have snow pants, coat, gloves, hat, and snow boots. If you are a family in need, please reach out to your teacher or Mrs. Mowen, Outreach, to see what we have.
