History of the School: The second Bogota school, located at the corner of Main Street and River Road was opened in September 1910 with an enrollment of 280 pupils.  Mr.  William Janes was the first principal.  Later this school was officially named the LILLIAN M. STEEN SCHOOL in honor of Miss Steen who served as principal from 1932 until her retirement.

The 6th grade has presented their gift to the school this past Thursday, as they graciously invited Ms. Giacomarra to the Learning Garden for an unveiling – a beautiful pair of park benches, with one of them containing a plaque honoring her from her “first gardeners.”  This was the class that started the Learning Garden with Ms. G when they were in 2nd grade.  Congratulations to Ms. G, and thank you to the Class of 2010 on their gracious gift to the school in honor of Ms. G.


Our Kindergartners participated in their promotion ceremony also on Thursday of last week.  They sang several songs to the listening ears of their parents and family members.  A special presentation was made to Mrs. Guercio and Mrs. Teran just after the promotion certificates were issued.  Needless to say, that was a significant part of the ceremony. 


 

We look forward to our 6th grade Promotion Ceremony on Monday evening at 6:30PM.  Mrs. Lehman and Ms. Wawrzonkiewicz have been practicing with their classes – getting ready for the 100th graduation ceremony at Steen School.  Special thanks go to the Mc Donnell family as they carefully restored our podium in the auditorium – which was originally dedicated to the PTO president from 60 years ago!   The podium looks great once again.   I wish I could pre-announce all of the award recipients, but that would spoil the surprise on Promotion Day.

 


 

Congratulations to the following 6th grade students who have been selected to the 7th grade Volleyball Team at the high school:  Aydelina C, Melissa R, and Tatiana S.

 


This has indeed been a unique year.  Mr. Oftedal leaves Steen School after 40 years of public education service – though only one here at this school. 

Three of our veteran faculty members leave us for retirement also – Ms. Giacomarra, Mrs. Jacobs, and Mrs. Landers.  Best wishes to each of them in their retirement pursuits!

            There are others that are leaving:  Mrs. Guercio, Mrs. Teran, Mrs. Barese, Mrs. Ferlise, Mrs. Mc Donnell, Mrs. Pelligrino, Mrs. Sadek, Mrs. Zayas - Bazan, and Mrs. Garafalo.  Best wishes to each of them in whatever they pursue – we will miss them all. 

            We will miss Mr. Al Oswald – most familiar to all of us as our day custodian.  Jeff Ferraro and Jose Soto, from our evening staff.  Best wishes to each of them.  

                Finally, our secretary, Mrs. Pena – what can be said – she impacts all of us in some way, shape, or form.  Mrs. Pena is involved in the very heartbeat of our school – the main office – intercepting calls from parents, caring for our students, and caring for each of us.  She is very much part of the team in the HAWK family – one that will be sorely missed.  Best wishes to Mrs. Pena.

We hope that each and every one of you will be able to get the most out of your well-deserved summer break.  Enjoy your families, make the most of your free time and have fun!    It is our hope that you will have a great start of another school year when you return in September.

 

One last time……Have a GREAT STEEN HAWK Summer!
