Dear Families,
Important information will be coming home tomorrow. Please ask your child for it. In the envelope you will find your child's report card (grades 1-8), the 2018-2019 registration letter and re-enrollment forms and our 1st Quarter at a Glance. The registration information will go to the youngest or only child.
Monday, November 20th and Tuesday, November 21st are conferences. Please use this link to sign up. Jr. High families please only sign up for one teacher. We want everyone to have a spot. If you would like to see more than one teacher, please see Mrs. Dries the night of the conferences.
Thank you for bringing in food for the Hunger Task Force. Last month we collected 293 pounds of food!
Please stop in the school atrium and take a tag from our Angel Tree. This is a parish-wide outreach ministry which provides clothing, toys, games, personal items to children, adults and organizations in need during this Christmas season. Each tag on the Angle Tree can range in value from $20.00-$75.00. Donated items should be returned to the Angel Giving Tree in the school atrium by Monday, November 27th.
Did you know that a portion of the proceeds from the Seton Volleyball Tournament are designated to be distributed to the Foundation for Religious Retirement and the Waukesha County Catholic Schools Tuition Assistance Fund? It is used to make Catholic school education a real possibility for those students who may not otherwise be able to afford full tuition. Assistance is in the form of $1,000 grants. Monies are given to the school and are credited to the family. Since the beginning of the The Seton, over $77,980 in scholarships have been awarded to families.
Please don't forget to bring in food for the Thanksgiving baskets. The deadline is Tuesday, November 14th.
Blessings,
Mrs. Tretow

Positively SMV
|
|
Last Tuesday Mr Newman's class welcomed back Mrs Anne Guerino for their Halloween party. Mrs Guerino is the recently retired k4 teacher who was instrumental in the creation of the k4 program at SMV. Many, many students will never forget the Mrs Guerino -isms, like her never ending bag of hats! Thank you for stopping in to see us Mrs Guerino. We miss you!
SMV is definitely lucky to have Ms Kerry Cosgrove on their list of volunteers! Aunt to Leo Jimenez, JP and Addison Denis! Kerry has given countless hours of her time to make SMV events a huge success. Kerry has been the volunteer coordinator for Spooks and Spoofs, gift helper for Holiday Treasures, and tour guide for Open Door Elm Grove, just to name a few of her roles. Annie Bolger, secretary for Home and School, knows Kerry is always ready and willing to help, which is such a blessing! "She is so sweet!" SMV owes Aunt Kerry a huge SMV shout out and thank you!
And with that you will find a few things that are Positively SMV!
