School News
Dear members of St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church:
I am writing this letter to inform you that after much careful and prayerful deliberation this will be my last school year as the Kindergarten teacher here at St. Stephen’s school.
I have been very blessed these past 17 years to have been able to teach God’s little lambs about the love of Jesus. I want to thank you for your support these many years and will be keeping you in my prayers as you move forward for the next coming school year.
Your sister in Christ,
Mrs. Amy Bubolz
