Dear Steck Community,
By now, you’ve probably heard - we’re throwing a party next week!
What you may not know is why it matters so much...
Colorado ranks 45th in the nation for overall K–12 education funding and we’re well below the national average in per-pupil spending. That means our kids, teachers, and administrators are working with fewer resources than they deserve.
At Steck, we believe every kid deserves a vibrant, enriching school experience—and every teacher and staff member deserves the support to make that possible. That’s why we raise money: not just to meet basic needs, but to go beyond them.
Whether you're bidding on silent auction items, attending the event, or simply spreading the word, you're helping us drive real impact. Funds raised through the auction go directly toward:
Funding full-time paraprofessionals who support classroom learning
Upgrading classrooms with better tools and technology
Hosting community events that bring families together
Providing classroom experiences that set us apart from other schools
In the past year alone we have used auction funds to do everything from hosting the annual movie night, to funding paras, to purchasing brand new gym equipment to keep our students active, and even providing an ice maker in the nurse's office (yes - we seriously didn't have an ice maker!).
We hope you’ll join us on November 8 for a night of fun, generosity, and impact. If you haven't already, click HERE to buy your tickets! And even if you can't join the live auction, please consider bidding in the silent auction next week.
Together, we can make sure Steck continues to be a place where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired.
Thanks for your support!
The Steck PTSA Auction Committee
