The Palisade Chamber of Commerce and Palisade businesses presented an electric bicycle to Jennifer Steele, a physical education teacher at Taylor Elementary School, as part of effort to show appreciation to teachers and students at the beginning of the school year.

Steele volunteers for chamber and community activities, including the Feast in the Fields dinners. She makes tortilla soup for the Altrusa Cub of Warmth as part of the Palisade Olde Fashioned Christmas. Steele and her husband, Patrick, also help with concession stands for school sporting events.
