Good Afternoon St. Stephen Families,
I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving break. Two more weeks and we will be off again! There is much happening before we leave for Christmas so be sure to read all of Tidbits.
Tomorrow students will be participating in our annual Advent Retreat. The theme this year is "What are you waiting for?" Advent is a time of waiting. We remember how the people of the Old Testament waited for the Savior to arrive and today we wait for Jesus to come again in glory. Please remember us all in your prayers tomorrow as we reflect on this time of waiting.
For those families who have chosen not to opt out of the mask mandate, please remember to send your child to school with at least two masks. We are having to provide an average of 10 masks daily to students whose masks have broken or they forgot their masks. We will not be able to continue to do this all year. You might consider sending in a box of disposable masks with your child's name on it for them to keep in their locker, or consider donating a box to the school. We are particularly in need of children's masks. If you do not want your child to wear a mask, please remember to complete the opt-out form. If you need that sent to you again, please contact the office.
Peace,
Linda Umoh
