Friday Letter - December 4

Dear St. Sebastian Families,
 
This Sunday, Dec. 6th we will have a family mass at 9am.  As a school we celebrate mass every Friday but only celebrate mass together with our families a couple times a year.  Family masses are a very important part of building our community, please try to make this a top priority for your family.  Students who come to mass in their uniform may have free dress on Tuesday, Dec. 8th. 
 
The school has partnered with the church to help raise money to repair an old electrical system.  This Sunday after all masses the school will be hosting a pancake breakfast in the cafeteria.  Come and join the fun after mass and help out to fulfill community service hours.  Second grade families are being asked to lead this event to fulfill extra hours needed for their child’s participation in Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
 
If your student is in grades 3-8, they will be in our Christmas card picture this year.  The photo will be taken on Monday the 7th.  If they have a Santa hat, please send them to school with their hat on Monday.
 
As many of you are aware, last weekend a tree fell on Wyoming.  I am grateful that no one was hurt and that as a result of the potential hazard, the trees have been trimmed. 
 
After school Pick-up Announcement
Since Wyoming is clear and open for business, we will begin after school pick up outside on Wyoming.  This will be the same procedure we are using in the morning.  Please note the following if you are picking up your child between 3:00- 3:15pm:

• Pull up to the curb where cones have been placed
• Stay in your car
• Let attendant know who you are picking up
• Student will be retrieved by attendant and brought to your car
• Once your child is safely in the car, pull away from the curb to allow other vehicles to move forward.

 
Thank you for your patience as we move to a safer pick up and drop off for our students!
