Dear Jean Steckle families,
What an exciting week at Jean Steckle PS! Our students were busy completing their school work with their teachers. Ask your children about the “Our Hives” videos. The Grade 6 students along with Mrs. Innes have created videos showcasing the students and educators at each grade level. So far we have seen videos from Grade 3 to Grade 6. Thank you to our Grade 6 students for the awesome work to help us stay connected and stay safe.
I am excited to share that our Trailblazers have been trained and will be wearing their brand new vests beginning today. Please be sure to say hello to our trailblazers as you walk to and from school 🙂
Stay safe,
Andrea Michelutti, Principal
