At the conclusion of our winter show, our faculty surprised our students with a special dance of their own to Jingle Bell Rock. Special thanks to Ms. Skrnich for choreographing. The video can be found on our social media pages!
What does the staff do when their principal hides a Giants-themed Elf around the building? They search high & low to find it! Our staff had a great time with this scavenger hunt. Congratulations to our 5 winners. Thanks Principal DeCongelio for making this week fun!

Steen School would like to congratulate the December Staff Member of the Month: Mrs. Julie Vinci! Mrs. Vinci has been teaching in Bogota for the past 7 years. She began as a preschool teacher in Bixby and then moved to Steen School to teach first grade. This year, she moved up to second grade with many of her students. She absolutely loves it! Mrs. Vinci is an excellent team player. She enjoys collaborating and co-teaching with other staff members in the building. Her class is built upon the saying 'our class is a family.' Each day, she makes her students feel valued and appreciated. As a result, she has great rapport with her second graders and they are eager to come to school each and every day. Mrs. Vinci always brings fun and creative ideas to the classroom and is always up for new challenges. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. Her other hobbies include cooking and traveling. A fun fact about Mrs. Vinci: she loves to collect magnets from all of the places that she has traveled to! Congratulations Mrs. Vinci! Well deserved!

Our 5th Grade Student Council Giving Tree Initiative has concluded! We set out with a goal to collect a total of 200 toys, books, and gift cards for families within our community. Each day, our students would walk by the tree wanting to understand the purpose of the collection. After a presentation to the entire school and several announcements from our Student Council Members, our students set out on a mission to give back to our community. They would eagerly pass and check the progress meter in the hallway to see if the total number of items was closer to our goal. Our students were filled with joy stacking toys within the boxes and watching them pile up. The empathy from our students was just truly amazing and heart-warming. The outpouring from our PTO and local businesses made our initiative even more exciting! So did we meet our goal as a school and collect 200 gifts? No...WE COLLECTED 365 GIFTS!!!! We surpassed our goal and we could not be more excited! A special thank you to our students and their families for contributing to this important endeavor. Also, a great big thank you to everyone else within our community that made this HUGE collection possible:
Steen School PTO, NLM Marketing, Ice House Hackensack NJ, Bounce Party Mania, Karla Jimenez Cakes and More, @Cafeteria111, and Ms. Perez and Amazon.com! Also, a special thank you to our Bogota Police Department for collaborating with us on this initiative! They have picked up the toys and will be delivering them to families within our community!
