A Halloween Message from Your PTA President

Happy Halloween, Stevens Superstars! 🧡


What a spooktacular week it’s been — from the costumes and candy to our fang-tastic Monster Mash bash! A huge thank-you to everyone who volunteered and joined in the fun.

Wishing all our families a safe, sweet, and slightly spooky Halloween night — may your costumes stay together, your pumpkins stay lit, and your candy stash last at least a few days.

Here’s to more treats than tricks, and to a school full of shining Stars! 🌟👻🍬


— Nichole Harrell, PTA President

We’re proud to honor our Stevens family Veterans with a special breakfast and short ceremony on Friday, Nov. 7 at 8:00 AM in the cafeteria. 🇺🇸

Our Warm Hearts, Warm Hands program is back to support our fellow Stevens Superstars! If your student(s) could use warm clothing—such as coats, snow pants, gloves, and more— for the upcoming winter season, please fill out the form below.

Rest assured, all family information is kept completely confidential. We're here to help keep everyone cozy this winter!

Share a Roll, Spread Some Kindness

We are helping out First New York FCU, our student banking sponsor, with their annual toilet paper drive and collecting rolls through Nov. 21 to support Catholic Charities Tri-County Services. Stevens earns 25¢ for every roll! The donation bin is in the Stevens vestibule.


Questions or want to help? Contact Kimberly Heikaus at kheikaus@gmail.com. 

đź’° Student Banking Program

Our School Banking Program with First New York Federal Credit Union is back! Students can make deposits every Thursday, 8:20–9:00 AM in the cafeteria and earn fun prizes while learning to save.

Open an account online at firstnewyork.org, or visit the local branch at 19 Glenridge Road, Glenville.

We’re still looking for a few volunteers to help! Contact Kimberly Heikaus at kheikaus@gmail.com if interested.
