Open House: Under normal circumstances, Sunday would have been our school's annual Open House. In place of this event we created a Virtual Visit "infomercial" to give a taste of life inside our school. Share with anyone you know who may be looking for a school. In-person tours are available outside of school hours by appointment. Contact Amanda at 314-752-4700 or amanda.quinn@saintstephenstl.org.

New Banner: Thank you to parishioner Legina Agha whose business Cheap Signs Fast has always been so generously supportive of our community. Legina was able to print our new banner, which now hangs next to our flagpole door so beautifully!

School Song: These days, we may not be able to gather all 210 of our students in one place at the same time to sing the school song, but we can sing in different places at different times and still feel like the strong school community that we are. We learn to love and love to learn at St. Stephen School!

Monday we kicked off our personal items drive for Cardinal Ritter Senior Services, which runs through Feb. 8. We are off to an impressive start!

Tuesday was a dress-down day to raise money for the Friends of Honduras , a community development project founded by SSP alumnus  John Hock ('64) and his wife, Marilyn. Our students have come to have a close relationship with the school in Guanacaste, and John and Marilyn regularly communicate about how our donations have helped improve living conditions and school amenities.

Wednesday we celebrated our nation. The day began with a flag ceremony led by our fifth-grade Boy Scouts and attended by their classmates, our alderwoman Beth Murphy, and our Archdiocesan regional director of education Kristi Mantych.
