Dear Parents, Teachers, and Friends of St. Stephen Protomartyr School,

Happy Friday and welcome to the weekend!

We’ve had a wonderful week filled with meaningful activities: an earthquake drill to ensure safety preparedness, a Confirmation parent meeting to support our students’ faith journey, a lively Holy Name Society (Men’s Club) gathering, and a generous food collection for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed.

Next week, we’ll follow a shortened calendar to accommodate Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday and Friday. For our students, this means a well-deserved mini Fall Break!

Today marks the end of our first academic quarter. Report cards will be available for online viewing by the close of business on Wednesday—just in time for your conference meetings.

Looking ahead, the forecast calls for cooler temperatures and some much-needed rain to ease our drought conditions. My mums in the garden will certainly appreciate the extra moisture! I hope you’ll find time to enjoy the refreshing weather and the company of loved ones.

Paz de Dios,
D. Gregorio Medellin-Sturgill
