New To Steller Orientation Was A HOMERUN!!

We hit it out of the park with 149 participants this year!  If you missed it, read below and we will try to help you catch up and feel ‘in the game’.

We covered all the bases:

  •  “Nuts and Bolts” of Steller from Rebecca Johnson; Click here for the webpage.
  •  The Steller process- Student artistically presented how an Idea Becomes Reality
  •  Became familiar with other new families and experienced parents and students in their student’s advisory and some staff
  •  Steller lingo (here)
  •  Ways parents can engage in activities already happening at Steller, or think of new ways that better fit their gifts.  More info here.

Thanks to ALL who attended.  Special appreciation goes to parents and students who helped with the planning and day of event activities:  Rochelle, Lorryn, Eliza, Meg, Seth, Chad, Darwin, Jordan, Rebecca, Rebecca, Mark, Cathy, Ellen, Jennifer, Emily, Brian, Tziporah, Michelle, Hayleigh, Mike, Dale, Pat, Victoria, Glen, Corbin, Wendy, Alyse

Student Orientation Volunteer Day Organizer:

Let’s hear it for parent Victoria Weindel, who spent many many hours volunteer to work with staff and coordinate with MANY non-profit organizations to line up presentations and trainings! Because of her dedication, many Steller students are better connected to opportunities to share their time and talent in the community.
