Just recently I heard a story from a Saints parent that I had to share with you all. The parent’s oldest daughter is a sophomore in college and every year - on her birthday - she receives a card from her St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes Junior Kindergarten assistant teacher. For 16 years she has done this! The teacher included a birthday card in her envelope and asked if the mother could send the card to her college dorm - here is a part of the letter the teacher sent to the mother. (I did cover the child's name...)
She wrote earlier in the letter, “I debated sending a card this year. By now, she might think that it is totally silly to still be receiving a birthday card from her JK assistant teacher. I just believe that kids need to know that someone cares about them outside the family.”
It's countless stories like this one that make St. Stephen's & St. Agnes such a wonderful community.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Katherine
