Good afternoon St. Stephen Families,

Congratulations to our winners of the Angel's Among Us Essay Contest. This contest was open to 8th graders attending a Catholic high school, and the theme was how the student Makes a Difference because of their experiences at St. Stephen. The judges for the contest were three non-parent members of the School Advisory Board, and it was not an easy decision as all the students did a great job. The first-place winner will receive $1500 toward their first-year high school tuition, and the 2nd place winner will receive $1000. If the scholarship money is not needed by one of the students, funds will go to the 3rd place winner. The winners are:

First Place - Liam

Second Place - Johnny

Third Place - Brianna

Congratulations to all three students!

Remember to read Tidbits every week to keep up-to-date on happenings at school.

Peace,

Linda Umoh

Questions/Comment Form

Need Babysitting for Angels?

Many parents have asked Angels to help with watching their children while they attend the Gala. We began offering the service last year with a nominal charge and it was very well received. We are happy to announce sitting will be available again this year for the 2/11 Rock n Roll Party in the FLC. It will be available to all SSCS students while parents attend the Gala. The children will be watched in our school building.

The nominal charge of $25 for the first child and $10 for each additional child is to compensate the school employees who have agreed to attend to the children. The child can be brought to the school office between 5:15 and 5:45 on 2/11. The party begins at 5:30. Please feel free to bring water, snacks, a pillow, blanket etc. 

Notify ngallagher@sscsfl.org if you plan on using the service and send a check or cash to the front office in an envelope marked for sitting services.

Please come and enjoy the dinner, open bar, auction opportunities, music and dancing knowing your child is close by.

Seat Reservations and Sponsorships are available on the school website.

 Angel 2023 Puppy 

The Beam Family has generously donated a Golden Retriever puppy to the LIVE AUCTION. You will get to meet our Puppy Angel on 2/11 and have an opportunity to provide the puppy with a forever home. 

Lots of hugs to Pam, Bruce, Alex and Duke for their kind gift.

Alumni Updates

Attention: Current School families who have children that are SSCS Alumni



Please help us follow the success of our former students. Kindly share with us updates on how your SSCS graduate is doing in school, in their profession or in pursuing their dreams. We want to be able to congratulate our alumni when they achieve amazing 

things and wish them well when they venture into something new and exciting.

      A few lines providing name, year graduated from SSCS and update should be sent to ngallagher@sscsfl.org

How it works:

If you have an existing sign, the cost is $30 for the week. If we need to order a new sign, the cost is $50 for the week. Please make payments through the school's front office.

To sign up, please use the link below and more details will follow. Please note, new signs take up to 2 weeks to process and receive from our vendor. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Maria Ayala at own.the.avenue.sscs@gmail.com.

 

Thank you in advance for your support!

IMPORTANT: Please note, this is a yearly fundraiser that is on a first come, first served basis (via

SignUpGenius). For example, if you purchase a sign this year for a specific week 9-4-22 thru 9-10-22, that same week is not guaranteed to you for future years. It is required that you sign up each school year if you wish to participate.
