Week at a Glance
Week of Nov 21st, 2022
Family Math Night & Thanksgiving Holiday
Thank you to all of our Super Star families that joined us for a very successful Falling in Love with Math event. It was wonderful to see so many students and parents engaged in and enjoying an assortment of math activities. In addition, thank you to the many parent volunteers that helped to support and facilitate many of those activities.
A reminder that our students will attend school Monday and Tuesday next week, beginning the Thanksgiving Holiday break on Wednesday.
The Ubben Basketball Experience
Thank you to the families who at the Back to School Bash won the opportunity for their student to participate in the 2nd annual Ubben Basketball Experience. Those students who attended engaged in a series of warm-ups and games. They even received a one-of-a-kind t-shirt as a souvenir of their experience. A great time was had by all!

Building Updates
2022-23 Steeple Run Yearbook Ordering
Steeple Run is a National Blue Ribbon School! Congratulations to our Super Star students, families, and the Steeple Run community at large! This year's school theme is - BUILDING ON. Preserve your child's memories of building on the tradition of excellence, friendship, and so much more.
Mr. Louis' commentary - while this might not seem pressing or important in October come May students & families tend to find yearbooks very important and often at that point our stock is limited. Given the quality of our yearbooks (thanks to Ms. Daniels & our yearbook committee) and how yearbooks are used to capture memories at the end of the year I recommend ordering now.
SR Health Office is looking for clothing
If you are cleaning out your closets, please consider donating gently used clothing to our Health Office. Their greatest needs right now are girls leggings and boys joggers. Thank you for your help !
