Congratulations to all the St. Stephen School students who participated in the 2008 Connecticut Governor's Summer Reading Challenge. This program was geared toward promoting reading statewide during the summer months. Our students were encouraged to read books and keep track of all the books that they read in a journal. These journals were collected during the month of September and the results were forwarded to the State of Connecticut Department of Education.
