January / February Parent Power Hour
Ms. Noonan (art teacher) and Mr. Bruening (Instructional Coach) have partnered to complete a "stop motion" video project with Steele's 4th and 5th graders. This unit proves to be impactful for the students as they create rough drafts, edit their work, collaborate with peers, learn new skills, and ultimately assess their own learning.
Thank you Jimmys Pizza for the donation of gloves and mittens!
Music Class Fun!

Holiday Spirit
5th Grade Potlatch!
Potlatch: ceremonial distribution of property and gifts to affirm or reaffirm social status, as uniquely institutionalized by the American Indians of the Northwest Pacific coast. The potlatch reached its most elaborate development among the southern Kwakiutl from 1849 to 1925

Secret Santa!
Each morning as I walk into Steele School, I am reminded how lucky I am to work with such amazing, loving and dedicated teachers... AND, how lucky WE are to have the privilege of teaching some of the sweetest, hardest working students around! These magnificent teachers shower their students with love every. single. day. But the JOY they spread during the holiday season is unmatched. Mrs. Washabaugh (with the help of Steele Teachers) raised $1,400.00 to provide 22 students with gifts for under their trees! In true Steele fashion....the teachers fought the Black Friday lines to get as many "wish list" items as they could....followed by a fun-filled wrapping party! STEELE SCHOOL...Where I Belong!
Thank you Steele PTO! You are the best!
Upcoming Dates to Remember!
Clarification for school events on Friday:
We will continue the school tradition of having an all-school sing-a-long! This event is for staff and students only. The sing-a-long is not a concert or holiday program...it is simply students and staff singing along to some favorite winter songs! We love to have our families participate in our activities; unfortunately, there is not enough space in the gym to invite parents. We apologize for any confusion this may have created.
