Anti-Bullying Week / Kindness Week at Steele School
This week, students and staff celebrated kindness towards everyone in a variety of ways. Classrooms entered a door decorating contest where both the teacher and students earned a prize. We had dress up days and school & home challenges. In addition, students created anti-bullying or kindness bookmarks and a winner was chosen at each grade level.

Learning How to Make Change in Second Grade
What could be more fun than to have a bag full of coins that you can spend on pieces of candy after learning about money in math? Each student from Mrs. Kleine's class was able to visit the Kleine's Candy Store to make their purchases. Thank goodness the cashier was helpful and so patient. 🧡
