| Welcome  Steele Elementary School's Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a volunteer organization of parents, teachers and others who work together to promote the education and well-being of all children and youth. We meet on the second Tuesday from Sept.-May at 6 PM in the library. We provide enrichment to students through school functions such as Book Fair, Field Day, Earth Day, Carnival, Popsicle Social, and Reflections Art Program. PTA committees promote the welfare of our children and include: Advocacy, Parent Education, Community Building, Response to Intervention and Bully Prevention. In addition, the PTA coordinates with the school for many kids programs including Science Palooza and Reading is FUNdamental. We also maintain this website, the school calendar, and publish the School Directory. The Washington Park Home Tour, Steele PTA’s main fundraiser, involves the greater Washington Park community. We organize additional activities and events throughout the year to build community within the school such as the Bike-A-Thon, Carnival/Palooza, Bookies Night, and Steele Dines Out. Lastly, the Steele PTA organizes an Auction and supports the ADF (Academic Development Fund) to raise additional funds to help lower the teacher/student ratio in the classroom and/or to provide specialists in areas such as reading. |
