We have just realized that the homecoming dance has been scheduled on a very important religious holiday.
The dance is being planned and organized by students who have already put in a very large amount of time & effort, so we are not planning to cancel it.
Please accept our apology for this oversight.

The Steller Auction

Help create Steller’s biggest event!

The Steller Auction is only six weeks away. Here’s what you need to know:

* Save the date on your calendar: Saturday, November 4th, 6:00-8:00 pm (auction starts at 6:30).
* This is our most important fundraiser to keep Steller special, with travel and much else.
* It is loads of fun, it is part of our community, and it happens because everyone pitches in.
* Judith Davis is organizing (THANKS JUDITH!!!) and she needs student and parent volunteers now to help with lots of little tasks. Contact Judith now at jlevans99516@gmail.com.
* Start thinking about what you can contribute for the auction.  For example; a service, an in-kind donation, or something from a local merchant.

Help make it happen, create community, and keep Steller strong. Get in touch with Judith to help: jlevans99516@gmail.com
