The Latest School News!

From the Principal’s Desk

Dear Stephenson Families,

Thank you so much for helping out with our school-wide art literacy project today!  Thank goodness the rain held off and the sun even made an appearance later on.  The stone mosaics will be installed along the front flower beds before the end of the school year.

Speaking of the end of the year, we only have three more weeks of school left but they are fun-filled and performance-packed. 

Here's what's coming up:

Tuesday, May 29 is the 3rd & 4th grade music performance for school at 1:00PM and families at 6:00PM

Friday, May 31 is the Stephenson Talent Show for school at 12:30PM and families at 7:00PM

Monday, June 3 is when the entire staff does class placement--if you haven't submitted your response to the three questions, you have until 2PM on the 3rd.

       

Have a terrific Memorial Day weekend!
