School Wide Support for Testing
In preparation for the IAR assessment, King School held an IAR assembly on March 18. Students in grades K-2 made signs of encouragement for their buddy classes as the 3rd and 4th-grade students entered the gym. Students who were in attendance on time for testing each day received an attendance raffle ticket for a chance at winning a McDonald’s gift card.
Knox College Football Reading Buddies
Knox College Football players have been visiting 1st-grade students in Mrs. Warnsing's class. They have been reading to the students and talking about doing things that require hard work and practice. They have joined us for the last 8 weeks and we appreciate their time and generosity.
Community Partners Help Encourage Students to Succeed on State Testing Days
Anthony Law helped kick off the Steele State Testing assembly with the third and fourth graders. This is where students were told about the color dress-up days, incentive program, and our focus of “Do Your Best!” During the assembly, Mr. Law took a $50 bill out of his wallet and gave it to the school to help fund the gift cards. In addition, at the end of the day, he came back with a stack of gift cards! We are so thankful for his partnership with Steele School. Thank you, Mr. Law!
