This is the last newsletter of the school year! Can you believe it?
As we wrap up another incredible year at Stevenson Middle School, we can’t help but reflect on all the learning, growing, and laughter that filled our hallways. From the first day of school jitters to the final round of applause at our year-end events, our students have shown resilience, curiosity, and heart. They've tackled challenges, stretched their thinking, discovered new passions, and built meaningful relationships along the way. Whether it was diving into engaging classroom projects, cheering on classmates at games, or laughing together during spirit days, this year was filled with moments that mattered.
Happy June!
What a great week! We took a fun-filled trip to Cedar Point this week--it was chilly but students had a great time! This Friday was our 8th Grade Dance and everyone looked AMAZING. It was a great time. Thank you to our Lighthouse team, Mrs. Oberski and Mrs. Vasiloff-Ebbitt for setting up and to all the staff and parents who volunteered their time to attend!
This week was short but BUSY! There was a wonderful art and music concert on Tuesday evening. We had a fantastic time celebrating our 8th grade students at the Awards Ceremony on Wednesday. Thank you to the over 700 families and friends that attended! It was great to see so many people come out to celebrate our students.
There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, May 26! I hope you all have a fantastic long weekend.

Hello Stevenson Families!
I can't believe it's MAY! This month is going to be jam-packed as we get ready to wrap up the school year.
This week we wrapped up our state M-Step testing. We only have to complete the NWEA tests and we'll be able to kiss testing season goodbye!
