Dear Steele families,
It’s hard to believe, but we are already finished with our 2nd trimester of school and are now officially in the final stretch of the school year. Report cards are available in Parent Portal by the end of day today. Please reach out to the main office if you have any trouble accessing your child’s report card.
Next week is Read Across America Week and we can’t wait to celebrate our joy of reading with your kids. Check out our schedule of fun activities. Caught in the Act winners will be back next week! Have a great weekend! Marti

The Steele Student Council is excited to announce that we are partnering with South High School’s Student Government to support Make-A-Wish Colorado. This organization provides life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. This year, South is raising money for a nine year old boy named Dante who has leukemia. South High School will be hosting different fundraising events the week of March 1 - 7 to help Dante’s wish for a family trip to Disney World come true! How can the Steele Community help?
- Attend South’s Big Night Out (similar to Trick-or-Treat street which some of your kiddos should be familiar with) on Wednesday, March 4th from 5:00 - 7:00 pm
- Donate directly to South Wish Week online. We have a Steele Elementary Team! - Bring cash to your classroom teacher’s donation envelope. The classroom with the greatest donation at the end of the week will earn a celebration generously donated from the South Student Government. See this flyer for more information Thank you for your support! -Steele Student Council |
