I hope everyone is finding time to rest and enjoy some sunshine during this long weekend. Last week was a blur and the office was a busy place which is why this announcement has taken me a few days to get out. Hopefully, you have already met the newest addition to our staff, Mrs. Porsha Grier. We are very blessed to have Porsha join our staff. She comes with experience and knowledge in the area of special education and she has jumped right in getting to know our students. Be sure to stop by and welcome her to St. Stephen!
We have also hired a teacher assistant for PK 3, Mrs. Anabel Cordoba. She will be starting on Tuesday and also comes with experience working with students. Please join me in welcoming Anabel to our staff.
I continue to interview for the 3rd-grade position and hope that we will have a replacement as soon as possible to make for a smooth transition. Keep praying that the right person will come to us.
Just a reminder to turn in your Faith Formation plan on Tuesday, and I want everyone to know that next week will be another busy week in the office. Tuesday, Gina and I will be in interviews and meetings most of the day. Gina will be out on Wednesday and Friday. Friday she will be at an Administrator's meeting at the Bethany and can be reached by text or email if needed. I will be out on Thursday and Friday and may not be available. Gina is here for you all on Thursday and Barbara will be in the office on Friday for any student issues which may come up.
I am leaving for New York on Thursday for a wedding and will not be sending a blog next week. There is a day of prayer in the parish on Saturday, Sept. 11, that you may be interested in attending (see the church website for details). Those attending the day of prayer will have access to classrooms in Angel's Wing, the Media Center, Meeting Room, and Music and Art rooms for silent prayer. I will be spending the day in Manhattan with Prince and my two sons and will pray each time I hear the bells ring for each of the planes that went down that day.
Finally, next weekend is Holy Card Weekend. Students who wear their uniforms to Mass will receive a holy card. They can show their card to their teacher on Monday, Sept. 13, and have a free dress day.
Have an awesome two weeks!
