Michele Fusco, religion teacher at
St. Stephen Roman Catholic School, greets
students coming off the bus on the fi rst day of school. Also at the main bus
entrance are Donna Ende, principal, and the Rev. Paul Nogaro
of St. Stephen Church. |
Wednesday was the first day of school for
children at St. Stephen Roman Catholic School on Baseline
Road. All things considered, the first bus drop-off ran smoothly,
according to school officials. The school has 198 students enrolled
this year in grades pre-kindergarten through eighth
grade. (photos by Larry Austin)
Several students brought flowers for
their teachers
on the first day. |

A total of 17 buses made a stop at St. Stephen
on Wednesday to drop
off parochial school students before heading on to Sidway Elementary.
 |
Mrs. May’s second grade class began with attendance and help
from the teacher in an early assignment. |
| Soon after getting to Miss
Pasko’s first
grade class, students started the day with the Pledge
of Allegiance and a morning prayer, below, before
hitting the books, above. |

Fusco was greeted warmly by many of the
returning students at St. Stephen. |
Rebecca Cacciatore’s pre-kindergarten class
at St. Stephen was full of enthusiasm on the
first day. “No criers in
pre-k,” said Principal
Donna Ende early Wednesday. “That’s huge.”
