Steller Secondary is so proud to present to our community the Aurora Music Festival! This is an awesome event for smaller school to travel to Anchorage and show off their musical chops. Steller students have participated every year for many years now, and we always do very well!
We would love for our Steller community to come support our stellar Band and Orchestra students. Schedules to come soon.
We are expecting almost 200 students, and will need volunteers to help make this event a great success for everyone! Please check out the form here, and sign up!

Steller dances are one of my favorite volunteer opportunities! It’s a great way to get an inside peek at the Steller Way in action.
Steller’s 9th grade class will be hosting a Valentine’s Dance on Friday, February 10th from 7-11pm at the Steller MPR. The dance is open to all Steller students. We are in need of 4 volunteers for the dance from 6:45pm-11:15pm. For questions contact Ashley.
Steller Prom Committee is also looking for some volunteer help! For questions contact Allison.

(Don’t forget – ASD requires all volunteers to complete the ASD Volunteer Application before they can volunteer, and it takes about a week. See here for more information)
Cheers,

Since July 2022 ASD had had a new application process for anyone who volunteers in ASD Schools.
“All volunteers (includes chaperones, drivers, and partner organizations) must complete a
volunteer application and sign a liability waiver each school year. This requirement ensures
that the District has the most up-to-date information on those volunteering. The application
and waiver can be found on the website for online submission or printing.” (Read more here)
The process is not complicated and can be done online or on paper (printed copies are available through the school office). In order to ensure that you can volunteer when you are needed we are asking all parents and guardians to complete the application now. SPG will have a number of opportunities where we will need volunteers in the next few months:
Visit the district website here to complete your application now!
For more info or to help in any of these ways, email stellerparentgroup@gmail.com
Come one, come all!
Please come to SPG’s monthly meeting
3 pillars of Steller:
Active participation by all three in the running of the school is at the heart of the Steller Philosophy.
We meet the second Tuesday of the month, and you can find the agenda by the Sunday before the meeting . This month we will be voting on funding requests and discussing our biggest fundraiser of the year (Cups for Kids).
Thank you to all the students and adults that have already signed up to volunteer for specific positions, or to be general helpers.
