Friday Letter 8/28/15

Dear St. Sebastian Families,

Welcome Spartans old and new!  It has been a great week getting to know new families, students and teachers.  Please help me welcome Coach Yin to St. Sebastian School.  Coach Yin is coaching 1st through 4th grade in PE as well as running our after care program.  A picture and short bio is included in this email.

To help keep the school current with important information, please fill out and return the emergency contact and family information sheet that was sent on Tuesday.  Included in this packet were consent forms as well as the archdiocese acceptable use policy for technology, permission to use pictures of students and permission for students to speak to counselors from Outreach Concern when on campus. 

Today students (grades K-8) with birthdays in July and August received a special blessing at mass.  This year birthdays will be celebrated on the last Friday of the month.  If a student would like to share a special treat with classmates, parents of these students will arrange one treat to be shared in recognition of all birthdays.  For further information, please contact your student’s teacher.

We are still in need of room parents. Being a room parent is truly a great way to get to know the teachers as well as other families at the school.  Please express interest with your student’s teacher.

Volunteers

We are in need of volunteers for the following: morning drop off, recess duty and aftercare.  Please call the front office and let Mr. Higdon know if you are available. bottles.  With this in mind, we would like to install a water spigot on one of our water fountains outside.  If you have any experience with this or know someone that you could refer to the school, please send contact information to Mr. Higdon or Ms. McDugald.

Tweet from Pope Francis:
Mary’s life shows that God accomplishes great deeds through those who are the most humble.

Have a safe and happy weekend!

God Bless,

Ms. McDugald
