In order to recognize all family members that are serving or have served in the armed service for Veterans' Day, we would like you to send in a photo of the person serving with the following information: branch of armed service, years served, and relation to Steele Elementary. Photos that were submitted last year, will be used again. If possible, we would love to have one or more of you interviewed by our principal so she can put together a video for the students to see. If you are interested, please email her at kcoate@galesburg205.org.


Photos are due by November 6th.

October's character education theme is Self- Control October's character education theme is Self- Control

Kindness is the quality or state of being kind. It is so important. The last few years we have endured such hate. We must get back to kindness. Give KINDNESS because you can. Do not judge. Learn other cultures because if you don’t you will never know what wonderful people can be in your life. Be RESPECTFUL to all people. Why? Because the world needs more people who are. And there is no one better to do this than ALL OF US!! Join us in solidarity to stop bullying and cyberbullying! Make it the day that bullying prevention is heard around the world! End the Hate... Change the Culture! Students will engage in activities this month to spread kindness everywhere.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month October is National Bullying Prevention Month
