PACERS Steele Chapter Creates Website The Steele PACERS Chapter has developed a chapter website.  Local PACERS members can now keep current with all school and community issues. Jayson England, Steele science teacher and PACERS member, created and maintains the website. Mr. England will be discussing the development of the Steele website at the 2010 PACERS Conference.  If you are interested in learning more about developing your own chapter website, please attend the "Chapter Business" breakout session at 10 a.m.

Community Garden Project Underway Packer's Bend (Monroe Intermediate) and Camp Hill (Edward Bell HS) have begun planning for community gardens that will serve community members and the schools.  Plots have been identified and a schedule prepared to start the projects this spring.

Section and Community Documentation Section has created a Community Documentation project that documents and archives the lives of elders in their community.  Twenty six students are currently involved in the project.  Videography, still photography, and journalism are three of the skills being utilized in this project.
