In honor of Steller’s 50th Anniversary, Steller Alumni are raising funds for the hard working, student-run Steller kitchen. The current estimate to purchase the needed appliances (like refrigerator, oven, espresso machine) is $20K. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated! * Donations in excess will revert to SPG to support initiatives for Steller students. Thank you for your support!
So far we have raised $3000!

Steller Philosophy is built on Three Pillars: Students, Staff, and Parents & Guardians working together to build the community and learning experiences we want. There are many opportunities for ALL of our community members to get involved and make a difference at Steller!
Steller Parent Group organizes volunteers on behalf of the staff and student groups and our own initiatives.
To volunteer
We have need for both leadership positions and for specific events, with various time commitments. This is just a summary to get a sense. Visit our webpage for a complete list and to indicate your interest.

The 2024 Steller BBQ on Tuesday was a stellar success!
Certainly our biggest BBQ in the last six years, we think we had about 550 staff, students and their families in attendance. The weather cooperated and it was great to be able to spread out in the field. It was wonderful seeing old friends reconnect, and new friendships started!
Of course an event like this wouldn’t be possible without a whole slew of volunteers working behind the scenes. This year we had about 30 adult volunteers and a great group of 10 students helping to make everything run smoothly in the Steller tradition.
Thank you to everyone!

A Welcome Message from the Steller Parent Group
Dear families,
Steller Parent Group wants to extend a warm welcome to all new and returning Steller families. Steller is a special place, with a unique philosophy of learning: inspiring a community of independent, confident, self-directed learners and we are sure you are going to love it here as much as we do.
The Steller Parent Group is an integral part of the Steller Community. The purpose of the SPG is to enrich the lives of Steller students through the financial support and leadership from all active parents and guardians. We strive to promote parent and guardian involvement in school activities. To this end we host events during the school year, such as the start of the year BBQ, All Community Meetings and Annual Movie Day and we raise funds to support school initiatives through Cups4Kids, and coordinate volunteers whenever they are needed.
All of this takes the hard work and dedication of our community members. We think parental participation is more important now than it ever has been, and want to invite you to get involved and share your ideas. Each one of us has different skills, talents, and resources that are very much needed to make Steller what it is. For some it is volunteering to help a class, for others, it is heading up or joining a committee. Even simply attending our monthly meetings helps create community. We have tasks that need to be done during the day, in the evening, and many that don’t even require coming to school. We all want the very best education and experience for our children, and when we work together we can make it happen.
If you are interested in learning more about SPG positions please let us know, and as always, we welcome your thoughts and ideas about how Steller Parent Group can serve you.
