  • The 2025 Spelling Bee will be held on Friday, March 28 starting at 2:00 in the afternoon.  The top 11 spellers from grades 5-8 will participate in this bee.
  • This year St. Stephen’s will once again host a book fair.  We are working with a different group.  Instead of Scholastic, we will be hosting an I 55 Book Fair. Here’s a quote from their website…”Our vision at I55 Book Fairs is to partner with schools, churches, and organizations who are also passionate about raising up a generation of inspired readers.  All products are screened, ensuring safety from unwanted knowledge, while still offering a wide selection of books.  Our name comes from Isaiah 55. This chapter encompasses all we strive to do, knowing that nothing is impossible with God.”
  • In order to make the book fair run smoothly, we are looking for parent volunteers to help each day.  The fair will run from April 7-13. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday it will run from 3:30-4:30 pm with helpers beginning at 3:20 pm. On Wednesday, it will run from 4:45 to 6:15 pm. On Saturday, it will be open after the Fun Run from 11 to Noon. On Sunday, it will run after the second service until noon.
