Friday E-Letter - 10/6

​Dear St. Sebastian Families,
 
Final touches are being made to the cafeteria so that we can open on Friday, Nov. 13th.  There will be a special blessing after mass at 8am.  Please join us in celebration of our amazing new cafeteria!
 
IMPORTANT DROP OFF PROCEDURE
With safety always being the #1 priority at the school, we will be implementing a new drop off procedure.  Starting Monday, Nov. 9th, morning drop off will be on Wyoming Ave..  Please note the following procedure for drop off:

• Proceed west on Wyoming Ave.
• Pull up to the gate marked with a red circle nearest the school building traveling toward Federal Ave.
• Do not get out of the car, your students will need to exit on the passenger side of the the car.
• Please have your student ready to exit the car upon pulling up to the designated drop off area.
• Please follow the directions of the traffic attendant.
• Do not allow your child to exit the car, allow the attendant to open and close their door.

 

 
Please do not park your car near the gate used for drop off in the mornings.  Cones will be put out at 7:10 am to make sure that the area is cleared.   This will keep cars off the lot which will keep our children safe and give them time outside to play before school. Thank you for your help with this new procedure.
 
Monday, November 9th we will have our first Spartan Newspaper Club meeting.  if you are in grades 5-8, please meet in room #7 at 4pm.

Pope Francis has had some great twitter comments the past couple weeks.  With all the selfies, reality shows and constant fixation on ourselves, he has certainly said it in simple terms.  He truly warms my heart!
