Stories from Stephenson #9
2026-2027
A Message from Principal Jeans
Dear Stephenson community,
We had a wonderful Pajama Day today. The students have been working really hard and collecting so many Lions Roars tokens to earn this collective reward. We are looking forward to the return of the Missoula Children’s Theatre during the week of October 12th, culminating in a family evening performance the night of October 16th. Our photo make-up day is on Tuesday, October 6th. And a reminder there is no school statewide on Friday, October 9th.
For daily glimpses into life at Stephenson, follow us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/stephenson_lions/). Our latest Stephenson Video News episode features sweet treat winners, an introduction of our new administrative intern Mr. Strickler, scenes from our Maker Space, and announcements about the Tortoise and the Hare and Walk and Ride to School Day on Wednesday October 7th. Subscribe to our channel at (https://www.youtube.com/@StephensonVideoNews).
I know the whole PPS community is nervous while curiously awaiting the Board of Education meeting on Tuesday evening. Be assured that regardless of how these proposals affect the Stephenson community, I am here ready to serve and care for our students, staff and community.
Cheers!
Jon Jeans–Principal 🦁
