In the education community, we often say that the weeks between Spring Break and the end of the school year feel like floating down a river—fast-moving, full of excitement, and packed with unforgettable experiences. As we head into this final stretch, we have an incredible lineup of events and activities planned for you and your students.

More details will be shared as each event approaches, but for now, please mark your calendars and get ready for an amazing end to the school year!

📌 May 23 – Last Day of School! (Early Dismissal)

Join us on the morning of Saturday, April 5th for a day of giving back—to our campus and to each other! This dual event is the perfect way to welcome spring as a community.

🌸 Campus Beautification: Help refresh and revitalize our outdoor spaces by raking, weeding, planting, watering, and scrubbing. It’s a great opportunity for students to take ownership of their environment and work together to make a difference. Many hands make light work!

👕 PTO Clothing Swap: Bring any gently used children’s clothing your family has outgrown and browse for the next size up. Clothing will be sorted by size/age, and any unclaimed items at the end of the day will be donated to a local organization.

A volunteer sign-up for Campus Beautification will be sent out after Spring Break—stay tuned! We look forward to seeing you there! 🌿✨

Join us on Saturday, April 12th, from 9:00-11:00 AM for a fun and welcoming All-School Playground Meetup! This is a special opportunity for our entire school community to come together to play, connect, and meet new friends—including our newest students joining us next year!

🎉 What to Expect:

• Welcome our newest families with mentor pairings and SSESH swag
• Reconnect with friends old and new
• Enjoy the open field with a picnic blanket
• Sip on coffee, water, and light bites while the kids play

Let’s make this a warm and inviting event for all—wear your SSESH spirit t-shirts and help us show our new families what makes our community so special. We can’t wait to see you there! 💜

We can hardly wait to celebrate with you at our highly anticipated Gala: A Speakeasy Soirée on Saturday, April 26th! It’s sure to be a dazzling evening filled with elegance, entertainment, and community spirit. Ticketing details will be available after Spring Break, but in the meantime, we need your help to make our silent auction truly spectacular!

Do you have connections, talents, or treasures to contribute? We’re looking for tickets to sporting events or performances, unique services, memberships to museums, vacation home stays, and more! The sky’s the limit when it comes to creating exciting auction experiences.

If you have ideas or donations, reach out to Kate Booth ([email protected])—every contribution helps make this night unforgettable. Stay tuned for more details, and get ready to step back in time for a glamorous evening at A Speakeasy Soirée! 🥂✨

We are thrilled to officially welcome Rosaly Gutierrez as our Day Porter at St. Stephen’s! While Rosalie has been a dedicated presence on our campus for quite some time through her contracted work, she now joins us as a full-time member of our team, working exclusively for SSESH.

Her hard work and commitment help keep our school running smoothly, and we are incredibly grateful for all that she does to support our community. If you see Rosalie on campus, please join us in giving her a warm St. Stephen’s welcome!
