Steen School would like to congratulate November's Staff Member of the Month. Mrs. Holly Gioiosa! Ms. Holly is one of our preschool teachers. Ms. Holly has been a PreK teacher over 20 years. She began teaching in Bogota in 2019 when Universal PreK first opened in Bogota. She is Steen's first preschool teacher! Ms. Holly is a teacher who embodies patience, positivity, and dedication to our family. She is known for coming to school each day with a smile, creating a structured and nurturing environment for some of our youngest learners, and going above and beyond to ensure every student reaches their full potential. Her young students adore her because of the dedication and care she shows them each day. She has taught us all the value of learning through play and constantly works with other grade levels for collaborative efforts. Ms. Holly is a Bogota resident herself and both of her children went through the Bogota school system. She says teaching is her passion and because of that, she has the best job in the world! In her free time, Ms. Holly enjoys spending time with her family and watching all types of sports. Gymnastics and volleyball are especially her favorites. Congratulations Ms. Holly! Well deserved! @BogotaPublic @BogotaPreschool

Today was our Thanksgiving Feast for PreK through 2nd grade. This was lovingly prepared by our amazing PTO. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers! We are so grateful to have you in our school community! @BogotaPublic @BogotaPreschool @SteenSchoolPTO

Lots of Thanksgiving fun today! Our Pre-K kicked off the day with their Turkey Shuffle Dance while Ms. Mawer's 5th graders studied parade history & created their own parade balloons. They even paraded around the school! @BogotaPublic @BogotaPreschool

In Media class, third graders listened to the story "Balloons over Broadway." They then practiced computer programming with our new Sphero Indi robots by planning their own parade routes for their parade balloons. @BogotaPublic

Happy 26 years to 3rd Grade Friendship Soup Day! Each 3rd grader brought in an ingredient. Together, all were combined into multiple pots of soup. It was a beautiful celebration of kindness, friendship, and a bowl of soup to warm the heart! @BogotaPublic
