Stellar Spirit Wear Order Form 2017.pdf

Remember to bring your bowls this Friday, because we will be serving our chicken tortilla soup, and our potato leek soup!

There will be a 2pm to 4pm prep on Thursday, and a 9am to 12:45pm set-up, serve, and cleanup. We need at least 2 parent volunteers for each of these times!

If you can help at either of these times, please contact Emma Kramer at emmakkramer@gmail.com

Many of you may have picked up this handy Parent Group FAQ document as recently as the Back to School Night.  Many updates and additions have been made since and I’d encourage you to download and print this PDF for your records.   As always, feel free to reach out to the parent group with any questions.  stellerparentgroup@gmail.com

Steller Parent Group FAQs

Steller Families, if you haven’t taken the time to fill out your family contact info into the Student/Parent Directory, I would encourage folks to take advantage of this before we print copies later this year. No printing date has been set yet, but we’d like to make it available soon.  So far about 130 out of roughly 280 students are represented, so we have a ways to go.  Here is the link to get started:

Steller Student/Parent Directory online form

Not sure if your in the directory?  Enter your child’s name and your email address on the first page of the form and it will let you know if you are already entered.  Any questions, contact the directory volunteer kevin@kevinhedin.com

The AFS Alaska Chapter wishes to thank the families of Steller Secondary School for opening their hearts and homes to welcome 5 foreign exchange students. Some of our students are in their permanent homes for the school year, but others are placed in “Welcome” homes, those families who mobilized at the last minute so that we could bring these students to our great state of Alaska and into the Steller school community.

We are looking for Host Families!

We are looking for a few more families to step forward and open their homes for our students still seeking a permanent placement.

If you are interested in hosting a young person starting the 2^nd or 3^rd school quarter, please contact Julie Albert, AFS Team Development Specialist at JAlbert@asfusa.org or call 907-290-0650.

Three Steller band students have been accepted to the 2017 Junior Youth Symphony Band and Orchestra (JYSBO). The students are Ry Allright, Griffin Lindsay, and Sarah Dout-Kelly. Griffin on French horn and Sarah on flute are to play the JSYBO Band; Ry plays the alto saxophone for the Steller Band but he will play the violin in the JYSBO Orchestra. They went through competitive auditions. “I am delighted that these students have made even further commitment to the music performance”, said Mr. Toba, the Steller band director. “I know the JYSBO will be beneficial to the students’ growth in music.” The JYSBO will have a first concert on December 6 at Bartlett High School.
