But I will sing about your strength.
In the morning I will shout about your mercy,
because you are a high fortress for me.
Psalm 59:16

Thank you to all who supported the food drive over the past few weeks. Many pounds of food was donated.
Beaver Dam Parade:
St. Stephen’s is going to be a part of the Beaver Dam Holiday Parade again this year on Saturday, December 7 at 5:00 pm. Click here to see where you can help out.
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to walk the route as we hand out candy and pass out fliers promoting our church and school. Participants are encouraged to wear our school colors. Since it will be dark, light-up necklaces or glowsticks, etc. may be a fun addition!! What a wonderful way to let others know about us.
-Donations of candy may be brought to the school office.
-Details about our location on the parade route will be forthcoming.
-Please consider joining us for this fun event and/or making a candy donation
-Any question?: Reach out to Karen Cooper at kcooper@saintstephen.org.
Special Event:
On Tuesday, November 26, starting promptly at 2:00, the students will be gathering in the gym for a jump rope competition. Parents and families are invited to attend. We ask that you park in the main west lot and enter the school through the office door (S1). We are also asking that the students wear their tie dye t-shirts that were given out at the beginning of the year as a sign of solidarity. Thank you.
No School:
There is no school Wednesday-Friday, November 27-29 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Blessings as you celebrate thankfulness with your families.
Weather announcement:
If inclement weather arises and school is closed or delayed, a text alert and email alert will be sent out between 5:45 and 6:00 the morning of the event. Also, notices will be posted on WKOW, DailyDodge.com, and the church/school Facebook page.
St. Stephen’s School Mission:
St. Stephen’s Lutheran School will offer a Christ-centered education to all students. We will instruct them in the Word of God, educate them in secular subjects, train them to become responsible citizens in our community, and prepare them for their eternal victory in heaven when they die. We will do this by holding Jesus and his love before them each day by appropriately using law and gospel as we instruct and discipline.
