Photos of Class Trips
It’s been an exciting couple of weeks for St. Stephen’s students. Primary went strawberry picking at Frobergs Farm. Lower El spent two nights at Camp Allen and got to explore the beautiful lakes and forests and handle a variety of snakes. Upper El made an adventurous trip to The Outdoor School and engaged in, among other things, kayaking and a high ropes course. Middle Years made a fabulous trip to Washington, D.C., and saw the Lincoln Memorial, visited Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher’s office, and took a VIP tour of Ford’s Theater, Below is a small sample of photos taken at the various class trips. To view others, please see the class pages on SeeSaw.

Bulldog Compliments
At St. Stephen’s, we have an easy way for anyone in the St. Stephen’s community to show their appreciation for a faculty, staff, or leadership team member. We call it sending a “Bulldog Compliment.”
Here is how it works. Click the Send A Bulldog Compliment image and follow the prompts. It only takes a few clicks, and you are done.
All compliments are anonymous and will be sent to the person (or persons) you choose to recognize. There is no limit to how many you can send, so be as generous as you wish!
