It was wonderful seeing so many of you at the Spring Fiesta on Saturday night. It was a great way to celebrate the community of St. Stephen's parish!
Tuesday, I attended the Leadership awards at Totino Grace. Parker Lang and Allison Hookom represented St. Stephen's School.
We are very proud of both of them and want to congratulate them with this award.
We desperately need volunteers in our lunchroom and out at recess. If you haven't volunteered this year please consider this opportunity.
I hope you are prayerfully considering one of these opportunities to help our school next year. We are looking for someone to take on the Volunteer Coordinator position as well as the coordinator for the Art Adventure program. Sandy Lang and Susi Link have done an exceptional job in these positions and would like to give someone else the opportunity. It is a small time commitment and makes a difference in our school.
God bless,
Ms. Morri
Candle Passing Ceremony
Please join the St. Stephen's Students and Staff as we celebrate the Candle Passing ceremony on Tuesday, May 30th at 1:00 in the Church. Candle Passing has been a tradition at St. Stephen's for many years and we are looking forward to expanding the significance of this tradition by honoring our 8th grade students in their leadership abilities over the course of the school year. It is during this ceremony that the light of leadership is passed from the 8th graders to the 7th graders, who will be our school leaders in the 2017-2018 school year. Come commemorate this beautiful tradition with our students!

-Attention 7th Grade Parents-
8th Grade Graduation is right around the corner, are you interested in helping out with the Graduation Reception? Darlene Krieger has graciously accepted the role of chairing this event. If you can help, please contact her at

Voice Lessons Offered
Want to work on your singing voice this summer? Mrs. Douglas will be offering private lessons at St. Stephen's this summer for any student in grades 5-8. If you are interested please contact Mrs. Douglas at hdouglas@ststephenchurch.org for more information.
Reading/Math Classes Offered
It's important to schedule reading and math practice in the summer to prevent summer loss. Research shows that most young people experience this learning loss when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer months. To keep your child refreshed in academic basics, enroll them in summer reading and math classes at St. Stephen's School with Mrs. Tyminski and Mrs. Lysdahl. We will offer one hour classes each in reading and math, grouped according to grades: Kindergarten; 1st-2nd Grades; and 3rd - 5th grade. The classes will be held on Tuesdays in June and July. For further information please contact either:
We will be having a "Move Ahead Day" on May 23rd from 8-10am where each grade will have a chance to try out the next grade level (for example, 2nd grade will move up to 3rd grade). We will be inviting all our new Kindergarten students into our school to learn about becoming a student in St. Stephen's Kindergarten. We are excited for our students to prepare for the upcoming school year!
