Steller Parent Group and Steller Staff are happy to invite all Steller Students, Families and Staff to the Great Steller BBQ of 2024 on Tuesday, August 13 6:00 to 8:00pm 

This is a great opportunity for everyone to come together as a community, meet new friends, and catch up with old friends.  SPG will provide burgers & hot dogs (with veggie and gluten free options) and drinks.

Families with last name A-K are invited to bring a side dish to share, and families with L to Z are invited to bring a dessert. Allergy friendly foods are especially welcome and clearly identified.  (Please label any dishes you want returned and remember to pick up at the end of the night.)

We look forward to seeing you!
