I-55 Book Fair:
\n<\/b>This year St. Stephen’s will once again host a book fair.\u00a0 We are working with a different group.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 All products are screened, ensuring safety from unwanted knowledge, while still offering a wide selection of books.\u00a0 Our name comes from Isaiah 55. This chapter encompasses all we strive to do, knowing that nothing is impossible with God.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to make the book fair run smoothly, we are looking for parent volunteers to help each day.\u00a0 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. Pack-up will follow.\u00a0 Click here\u2013 <\/span>I-55 Book Fair Help Sign-up<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u2013to sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n

St. Stephen\u2019s School Mission:
\n<\/b>St. Stephen\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please remember that if you need assistance with anything that you can reach out to the teachers and leaders of St. Stephen\u2019s.\u00a0 You can also find answers to some questions on the website: www.ssbdwels.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
