    • Jerry’s Automotive/BP, 700 N Spring St.  (Across from The Market in Beaver Dam) has a Spirit pump.  When patrons use this pump for gas, Jerry’s donates 2 cents per gallon to schools in Beaver Dam.  The owners of Jerry’s have again decided to give the proceeds from this pump to St. Stephen’s during the month of MAY.  Please consider filling your tank in the month of May at Jerry’s at the Spirit pump. 
    • Grades K-8 will sing during Ascension/Graduation service on Thursday, May 29, starting at 6:30.  Children’s Choir, Jr. Choir and 8th grade students will need to be here by 5:45 for mass rehearsal of our song.  This is the one and only rehearsal with all three choirs so it is important that students are there on time. 
      • Please have the children wear the following:  ladies–nice skirt/blouse, nice pants/blouse, gentlemen–dress pants/polo, dress pants/nice shirt tie. 
      • Grades K-7 will sing the graduates’ song, Children’s Choir and Jr. Choir will join the Sr. Choir for a song.  Jr. Choir will also sing a song of their own.  Children’s Choir and K-1 students will sit with families until it is time to sing.  When it is time for them to sing, they will come to the front of the church.  Please refrain from sitting in the balcony.  Thank you. There will be cake/refreshments served in the church basement after the service is finished.
    • 5/29 The end-of-year picnic starts at 11:00 at Tahoe Park. A sign-up genius will be sent home soon for help. The picnic only succeeds with help from the parents.   
    • Donations are being accepted at the church office for a rummage sale that will be held in the gym at St. Stephen’s from June 12th to 14th. All donations should be in good, clean, working condition. If they are not sold at St. Stephen’s, they will be sent to Twice Is Nice after the sale. 
    • We will simply have a closing devotion with songs at the end of the picnic, and then celebrate our school year closing at the graduation service.
    • Report cards will be released via FastDirect on Friday, May 30, after the teachers have had the opportunity to finalize them.
