St. Stephen's Church seeks to be fully
engaged with our neighborhood
community. A major focus has been a
growing partnership with the Blackstone
Elementary School, located just a block
away from the church.
Blackstone Elementary School
Campaign
St. Stephen’s is working to build a
partnership with the Blackstone Elementary
School because we believe that “stronger
communities = stronger schools!” We at
St. Stephen’s want to be a neighbor by
helping build up the Blackstone in three
concrete ways:
- Rebuilding the school’s library:
Through service days and the help of
weekly volunteers, we have created
a fully functioning library where
students can check books out, take
books home, and provide a space
that encourages literacy and gets
everyone excited about reading!
- Renovating the school’s
greenhouse: The St. Stephen’s teen
organizers recently lead a project to
recreate a space in the school where
students can come and learn about
natural science in an active, living
greenhouse.
- Supporting the school with
volunteers: St. Stephen's
coordinates a network of volunteers
from our staff, the community, area
colleges and universities, and partner
churches to volunteer either in a
Blackstone classroom, at recess, or
at the pool on a weekly basis to
provide extra support to students and
teachers. We also turn out hundreds
of volunteers for special service days!
If you are interested in volunteering at the
Blackstone or supporting any of these
campaigns, please contact Liz Steinhauser
at 617-262-9070 ext. 102 or
