Friday Letter 10/9

Dear St. Sebastian Families,
 
On Oct. 11th from 8am- 2pm, the church will be having their annual yard sale.  If you have any items that you would like to donate, please contact the church at 310-478-0136.
 
As a reminder, parents or guardians picking up students prior to dismissal time will need to email the teacher as well as the front office or principal.  Early notification allows teachers time to give iformation to students, have the student ready for pick up in the front office and create less of a distraction to other students in class.  Please do not go to the classroom to pick up your student. 
 
On Saturday, Oct. 17th we will be opening our doors to the community for our first open house this school year.  We will need help from parents and students.  Please look for an invitation to volunteer coming out this week.  Students will be invited by their teachers.  If your student is scheduled to attend, they will need to wear their uniform.  Students helping with this event will have free dress on Monday.
 
Update on the cafeteria:  For the most part, the demolition stage of the cafeteria has been completed.  There has been a thorough analyses of any trace of mold or water contamination of any kind.  That said, we will be a bit behind schedule for our original completion date.  We hope to begin reconstruction some time next week.  Fortunately, we continue to have good weather conditions, so students are enjoying the time spent outside.
 
Our first after school food sale is on Friday, Oct. 16th.  Families will be preparing hamburgers and snacks for purchase, so send you child to school with some extra money safely stowed away in their back pack.

The faith is not a gift just for me. Faith is given to be joyfully shared.
