If you were not at one of the events happening on Friday and Saturday, here's what you missed.
- Fish Fry - You missed Calvin, who made his first appearance at St. Stephen. He's adorable, and Mom is doing great and loving every minute of being a new mom. You also missed A LOT of alumni working at the fish fry. It was great seeing them all and what they are up to. Most impressive was Jaxon Hester, who is working on creating a line of fragrances for men and women as part of a project for his business class.
- Once Upon a Brick Library Sleepover - Thank you, Yesenia and Officer Diaz, for spending the night at school, providing a spectacular night for the kindergarten boys and keeping them safe. I was not so brave and left by 7. The energy was real! Plus I had to get up the next morning for....
- Turkish mosaic crafting - Thank you, Lisa, for putting this together. We had a fun (and sometimes frustrating - you try teeny tiny gluing beads) time. We were all very proud of our almost finished product. The final step of grouting happened at home after it dried.
Compared to all that, this week is pretty quiet as we head toward our much-anticipated Spring Break. While it may be quiet at school, there is much happening in the world. I ask that during this time of Lent, as we may be increasing our prayers and time with our Lord, let us add everyone affected by events in Iran and the Middle East to our prayers. As a community with extensive ties to the military, we especially want to remember them in our prayers that the Lord and their Guardian Angels be by their side.
I will be out on Thursday (6th-grade field trip) and Friday (principal meeting at the Bethany Center). Have a wonderful week!
