What piece of advice would you give parents to help their child(ren) succeed at St. Stephen?
Love and support your kiddos, paying no mind to their successes or their failures. School is an opportunity to learn and make mistakes in a safe environment. It’s like training wheels for life! Mistakes are how we learn. God made your kids for you and nobody else, bring your fears and worries as a parent to Jesus, you are enough, and so are your kids.
