Steck Weekly Update

November 7, 2025

 

Dear Steck Families,

A Tremendous Thank You to Our CaddySteck Auction Supporters!

We sincerely appreciate everyone who contributed to the success of last weekend’s CaddySteck Auction. We extend our deepest thanks to all who offered their time, talents, and generosity to support the PTSA’s largest annual fundraiser.

We are thrilled to share that we raised $105,107 for Steck!

Your contributions go straight into providing the resources, opportunities, and enhancements that help our students and staff thrive. Thank you for being such an incredible source of support for the Steck community!

Spirit Day – This Friday!

This Friday is Spirit Day, and our theme is “Dress for Success.”
Students are encouraged to come dressed in an outfit that makes them feel confident, capable, and ready to shine!


Copy Paper Donations Needed

We are running low on copy paper and would greatly appreciate donations.
If you’d like to help, please drop off reams of copy paper at the school office.
Thank you for supporting our teachers and classrooms!
