The Wash Park Home Tour will be upon us before we know it, and we are in desperate need of an operations lead and marketing lead. The Home Tour is one of our big fundraising efforts for the school. The money raised helps fund many important elements for our school and staff.

Please contact washparkhometour2025@gmail.com or text/call Tonya Weekley at 303-257-7838 if you are interested in volunteering. Let's make this year a success and support this amazing event!

Great news: the new greenhouse cover for the school garden is being delivered today! We are expecting nice weather this weekend and so we are calling for volunteers to help install the new cover on the garden greenhouse this Saturday at 11am, meet at the garden!

Check out the 2nd Grade Winter Joy Exhibition at the Eugene Field Library now through January 7th!

2nd Graders were asked to create a piece of art that brings them joy in the winter for our local library. Congrats to all the 2nd Graders who worked hard on their pieces!

The Science Fair will be held on Friday, March 7. There will be a community open house the night before on Thursday, March 6. The open house will allow students to set up their posters and practice their presentations for friends and family.

We will kick off the science fair preparations in January. However, information regarding the fair is available now if you want to get a headstart over winter break. You can even purchase your tri-fold poster board from the office for $4 if you want to get moving.

DPS has started an A La Carte program for students. This means that students can purchase additional items with their lunch. To do this, students must have money in their My School Bucks account. Steele is working to get a list of items being sold as well as their ingredients and will share that when we have it.

Looking for a way to become more involved with the community next year? We’re looking for 2 co-chairs to lead the planning and organization of the 2025 Steele Auction! The only prerequisite? A genuine passion for Steele. The auction committee will support you every step of the way with planning, organizing, and fundraising efforts. If you're interested in learning more about the role and what’s involved, reach out to us at auctionsteele@gmail.com for more details.
