Mr. Steinkraus was such a sweet man. I was one of his teachers aids. We always had a good time in his class. He made it fun to learn and he was always encouraging his students and me. I was his aid and he would always try to get me to come out and practice with his soccer team and I would always tell him I didn't know anything about soccer and he would say thats why you need to come to practice. He was such a good teacher and we need all the good ones we can get. Not many teachers now days are there for the kids but he was. I was very sad to hear that he had passed. I will keep his family in my prayers. I hope they all know he was loved at school and as a teacher and encourager too. May God welcome you and keep you until we see you again.
