Hello St. Stephen Families!
It was so wonderful to see all the children's smiling faces again this morning. It sounds like everyone in our SSCS family is safe and we hope that you all made it through the hurricane with little to no damage to your homes. We will continue to pray for those in its path, that the Lord surround them with His shield of love and guide them safely through the storm.
Please remember that tomorrow is a spirit dress-down day. All students will wear their spirit shirts, which were sent home on Tuesday, with jeans or their PE shorts.
Please also remember that tomorrow is a noon dismissal. Our noon dismissal procedure this year is to dismiss all students from their classrooms so that our carlines do not interfere with the St. Vincent de Paul food drive. Thank you and have a blessed long weekend!
Peace,
Mary Gurley
