And now the halls of Mother Seton are quiet as both students and teachers take a break to enjoy the summer holiday. But much work will still be done over the summer, from some much needed renovations (yes, the tables that I sat at decades ago in the cafeteria are being replaced, and there will be new floors in the gym and cafeteria as well!) to getting the new Chromebook cart ready for the fall.
Enjoy your summer!
