Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
At the beginning of last school year, Steele Canyon unveiled a reimagined mission and vision for our school. Paramount to living up to the standard of our Mission so we can strive for the ideal of our Vision is to create a welcoming learning environment and connect each student to the school. The effort of our ASB this week embodied our mission and vision. Wednesday was National Thoughtfulness Day and our ASB students wrote encouraging notes on over 700 cups of lemonade and passed them out to students as they entered campus. I want to commend and recognize their contributions to making safe space and connecting our students to the school.
Labor Day is a tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. Have a happy Labor Day and don’t forget to celebrate yourselves.
Rah! Rah! Cougars!
