On Monday, December 4th, Saint Stephen's students will be greeted with a stress-relieving, stress-relieving treat: puppies. That's right, it's puppy day, likely the most popular stress-less day leading up to exams. Simply sign up with Mr. Holt for your fifteen minutes of puppy therapy and meet us in the Palm Courtyard. Puppies Blaze, Major, Jackson, Trixie, Willow, and Zipper can't wait to be loved by you.

Wanna shave off those detention hours before break? Join Mr. Holt and Mr. Forrester on Tuesday, December 5th, in the lunch loggia for Carols, and you'll do that and much more. 

Do you like jazz? Well then, this is your day. Wednesday, December 6th, join Mr. Holt for a session of light jazz in the Palm Courtyard.  Bring your lunch and enjoy the live, smooth tunes from the steady hands of Mr. Holt. At the end of the day, there will be an Upper School and Middle School Holiday Concert at 6:30 pm in the Upper School Commons, so don’t be shy and stop by. 

Thursday, December 7th, there will be card games in the US Commons. Led by Mrs. Springstead, students can play a variety of fun brain games as a way to exercise their brains in a stress-free manner. Play with your friends and bring those fun-filled board game nights to campus this holiday season. 

Friday, December 8th, is everyone's favorite day– it’s ugly sweater day! Come to school dressed to impress, wearing your favorite ugly holiday sweater. Prepare for the most jolly chapel service of the year as Mr. Forrester will lead his annual “Christmas Chapel Takeover.” Nothing will get you in the holiday spirit more than hearing from our beloved director. And with that service, our stress-less week comes to a close just in time for the start of exams. Best of luck, students. May the odds ever be in your favor.
