Winter apparel:
Please remind students that it is cold out and that having coats, gloves, hats, and possibly even boots is important. We do go outside as long as the weather permits.  It is always easier to remove layers than to sit and wonder why they didn’t bring an article that keeps them warm.

Call meeting:
Mr. John Schleis has returned our call to teach in 4th grade.  A new call meeting will take place on Sunday, February 8 after the 10:00 service. 

Kindergarten Round-Up:
On Monday, February 23, 2026,  we will be holding our annual Kindergarten Round-Up.  This date is different from the school year calendar due to a scheduling conflict.  The event will run from 6:00-7:00.  It is an opportunity for new Kindergarten parents and students to meet and greet the faculty of the school.  If you know of a family that has a child that would be in Kindergarten next year, please encourage them to be part of this Round-up and learn more about the importance of Christian elementary education.

Mission offering:
Quarter 3 mission offering starts tomorrow.  We collected $53.85 of our $500.00 goal this week.  This puts us at 25% of our goal.  Let us continue to show our gratitude to our Lord as we support this mission over the coming weeks.

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.   

Please remember that if you need assistance with anything that you can reach out to the teachers and leaders of St. Stephen’s.  You can also find answers to some questions on the website: www.ssbdwels.com

Blessings on your week.
