Gingerbread Man seen roaming the halls of St. Stephen.

 


In case you missed him, he's back and ready with his gifts for students to purchase.  All teachers have instructions and a schedule for this event which the children love.  

As promised, as we come to the end of the calendar year, things get busy.  Here are the events for this week:

Monday

  • Gingerbread Shop - All week (see schedule)
  • Patty from Catapult will be here doing teacher observations/discussions as part of our Math CQA professional development.  I may accompany Patty on some of the observations.
  • Faculty Meeting - business meeting.  ALL teachers are expected to attend.  We will be discussing the Christmas concert (Denet, please let teachers know the expectations for that night), last day of school before break, CSW (Julie and friends, please be ready to talk), and more.  

Wednesday

  • 7th/8th grade has Reconciliation at 9:15.  Please be on time.

Thursday

  • All school Mass at 8:30.  This is a Holy Day of Obligation.  Encore teachers can meet with teachers if you want to try to move a class to another time or if you want your class for 20 min. on Thursday.
  • Science Fair for 7th Grade

Friday

  • Grades K-8 Adoration (follow the schedule previously provided and please be on time).
  • Marvelous Mustang
  • Remind students to wear their uniforms to Mass over the weekend for a Holy Card/free dress pass.  

The final amount for our Make a Difference walkathon was just over $27,000.  We are able to write a check to my Warriors Place for $2700 and they are super excited.  This also means that I was able to purchase 45 (yes, 45!!!) new iPads.  The 2nd grade will get a class set of the new iPads and the first grade will have a complete set.  The remaining iPads will be used in MakerSpace and will be available for checkout in groups of 5-6 for class projects.  More info to come when they arrive.  It will take some time to get them set up but hoping to be ready when we return after Christmas.  A BIG thank goes to our families for Making a Difference!  

Have a wonderful week.
