A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENTS Dear Steck Families, Thank you all for your recent support with the District 204 Coat Drive and the Steck Season of Sharing Giving Tree. Both events were extremely successful and help serve families in our very own community. They would not be possible without your generosity. Please know that you truly made a difference in the lives of children attending our school and schools in our community with your support of these programs. It makes a huge difference and we are blown away by how wonderfully generous our Steck community is. THANK YOU for all you do to help!
HAVE YOU HEARD!? Steck is in the running for a $10,000 prize from Chicago Premium Outlet Mall! There are only 4 schools participating so we have a 1 in 4 chance of getting the grand prize! All you need to do to help is shop at Chicago….(con’t)

Information on the upcoming season of Girls On The Run at Steck will be
coming home after winter break!
The new season will start in March and is open to girls in grades 3 through 5.
Practices are held Monday and Wednesday after school until 5:15pm.
This is a truly wonderful program that Steck is lucky to have! Though the
girls train for a 5k together, they also learn about self esteem, nutrition, and
how to be a good friend and teammate.
