I want to thank everyone for another fantastic school year. The amount of passion and energy that our students, teachers, and parents put into making Steele a fantastic school is humbling, to say the least.

I appreciate how our students always put their best selves forward. They truly strive to improve every day. It's evident in how they treat one another on the playground, the engagement they have in class, and their excitement in the morning.

I want to thank our staff for ensuring that no decision at Steele is made without first asking the question, "What is best for students?" This staff knows their kiddos both academically and personally. They take the time to build lasting relationships that increase our students' confidence and help them succeed for years to come.

Lastly, I want to thank our parents for their never-ending generosity and care. Steele parents roll up their sleeves right along with the staff, and will do anything needed to support students. Our parents ensure that all students are cared for at Steele.

Steele is a truly special place, and I'm grateful to be your principal. I want to thank ALL OF YOU for your effort and care. I'm filled with gratitude for the privilege of being a part of this amazing community.

I hope everyone has a fantastic summer. Thanks for all you do!

Adopt-A-Bed in the Steele Garden for the Summer
The Steele Garden Committee is looking for families to "adopt-a-bed" for the summer in our school garden. Volunteers are asked to weed a bed once a week (June through August) and monitor the bed to assure the drip irrigation system is working. Any watering issues will be handled by a garden committee member. Committee members will also be available if you are going to be out of town and need help finding a substitute family in your absence.
