This year, St. Elizabeth Seton is celebrating 50 years of faith, learning, friendship, and community! 💚💛

There will be a Spirit Week, September 21–25, as we celebrate this special milestone. On Tuesday, September 22, families are invited to join us for our Opening Mass, Family Picnic, and School Blessing.

More details and opportunities to volunteer will be shared soon. Stay tuned as we celebrate 50 years of Seton!

50 years of memories. 50 years of community. And our story continues! 💚

Let's have fun this week showing our school spirit!

You are invited to join your child outside for a picnic lunch - don't forget to bring a lunch or send it with your child in the morning.

Each morning at SES, we come together in prayer, and we are especially proud that our students are helping to lead us. Throughout the week, students have the opportunity to write and share their own prayers with our school community.

Their words offer beautiful reflections of faith, hope, kindness, and what matters to them. We are grateful for the thoughtful voices of our students and the way they help bring our community together in prayer.

This week, we are pleased to share one of our grade 5 student-written prayers:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I am thankful for my firends because they make me laugh everyday.

God, help me to work hard in school and not doubt myself ever.

Please help my friend's family and other's to be happy and healthy.

Thank you, God

Amen

Maddie, grade 5 student

School Fees - Student Activity Fee $30

This fee supports school-wide and/or grade level specific activities, special projects, etc for all grade levels to support student life.

At St. Elizabeth Seton, we have students in all grades who live with nut allergies. As a Nut Aware School, we ask all families to help us create a safer environment for these students.

Being Nut Aware means that while we cannot guarantee that our school is completely nut-free, we strongly discourage students from bringing nuts or nut-containing products to school.

A few simple practices can make a big difference:

• 🥜 Please do not send nuts or nut products to school.
• 🔎 Check ingredient labels when packing lunches and snacks.
• 🧼 Encourage your child to wash their hands after eating.
• 🍎 Remind children not to share food with others.

We know that keeping our students safe is something we do together as a community. Thank you for being mindful of the needs of our students and for helping us create a school where every child can learn, play, and feel safe.

If you have questions about our Nut Aware practices or your child's specific needs, please contact the school office.

Thank you, families, for continuing to support our request to keep personal toys and sports equipment at home. We have seen lots of positive play and sharing at recess, and our recess bins continue to be a hit!

A big thank you to the families who have already donated baseball gloves and tennis balls. Your generosity is helping us expand the activities available to our students. 💚

We are still hoping to add a few more child-sized baseball gloves to our bins. If you have a gently used glove that your child has outgrown or no longer uses, we would be grateful for your donation. Tennis balls are welcome too!

Please drop donations off at the school office.

Thank you for helping us build a recess where everyone can play, participate, and have fun!

We lift each other up — even at recess! 💚⚾
