Spirit Day – Wed., October 26

Wednesday, October 26, is Spirit Day at Stiegel. The staff and students will be wearing maroon and gray to show their school spirit. There will also be a short assembly involving some of the senior high members of the fall sports teams who will come to speak to the Stiegel students about their  sports, etc. The focus of this assembly is to stir up some school spirit and to let the younger students know that it takes hard work, good grades, and lots of practice to participate in these sports.

GO TEAM!!!!

Red Ribbon Week – October 24 – 28

Next week we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week at Stiegel Elementary. Even though we encourage our students to make good choices throughout the year, Red Ribbon Week  is the time that we stress how important it is for students to live a healthy life free of harmful drugs. Announcements about making healthy choices will be shared with the students in the mornings and in their class meetings. We are encouraging our students to wear red on Monday, October 24. Friday, October 28 is the day that students will wear a shirt or jersey of their favorite sports team because it is “Team Up Against Drugs Day.”

All Pro Dads

 Don’t forget that All Pro Dads will be held next Friday morning, September 30 at 6:30 – 7:30.

Fall Pictures

The students at Stiegel will be having their fall pictures taken on Friday, October 14. Picture envelopes were sent home earlier this week. If you would like to send the money envelopes in early, that would be fine.
