Dear Parents of St. Sebastian School,

I am proud to announce that at our first Family Mass and Meal we made $1600 and our Dine Out Night at Shakey’s made close to $500. Thank you to everyone who came out in support of our school. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you at the upcoming community events. Our school year is off to a great start, and it is important for us to remember to take time to pause from our busy lives and be grateful for all God has giving us. We also have many exciting events at school to look forward to this month!

God bless,

Sra. Harty

Thanks for your support!
