We are hosting a RUN!

As a joint effort between staff, parents, and students, we will be hosting our first annual February Freeze Up RUN fundraiser on February 3rd at the Abbott Loop Community Park trails.   This is a big fundraising event for Steller and we are off to a good start.   Skinny Raven is handling the online registration (not open yet), and we will be organizing a BIB Pickup event on Feb 1st at Steller as well as staffing the run/walk event.    Your event leaders are:   Becky Gerik, Marianne Pedersen, Leigh Anne Bonney, Karen Gillis, and Kari Hall along with students Emily McKenzie, Natalie Buttner, and Jacob Nunn and more.    This event comes up pretty fast, so stay tuned to our Flash updates.  Flyers and Posters (like below) will be available soon in the office for you to help us distribute to your workplace, and other places.

This will be a fun run/walk event to not only help with funding but will also help Steller gain awareness in the community.  

Visit the Facebook event posting to share with your friends and family and stay tuned for online Registration availability.

All Pro Dads Friday Dec 15

Steller Dads and Kids, 

Why go to All Pro Dads at Steller?  This is a chance for dads and kids to connect over breakfast and discuss relevant topics of things our youth face today. Dads will get a chance to see their kids’ point of view on these topics and the kids will be able to hear their dads’ point of view.  This will be through one on one discussions and via group discussion.

At the next meeting, we will be discussing cell phones and how they contribute or distract us from our holiday seasons.  Our next All Pro Dads Day is this Friday, December 15th at 7:30 a.m. We will finish no later than 8:20 a.m.  Please RSVP at https://allprodadsday.com/chapters/10664 so we can make sure we have enough food for all.  See you then!
