Greetings From Mr. Grieco... SASEAS families, It is hard to believe that we are in our final days of the 2018 – 2019 school year. I would like to thank all of you for your support of our school. I hope you all get time to relax, spend time with family and enjoy the summer and the slower pace that it brings. I look forward to next year and working closely with our school stakeholders to bring about more positive changes to help our school grow and prosper.  Please see a special letter from our Pastor, Father Cordier, regarding our school. Congratulations to our graduating 8 th grade class of 2019. You all will be missed! Come back and visit often and share all your successes, big and small. I know you will do great things! For this Friday’s All-School Mass at our Seton campus, here are some reminders: 9:00 a.m. – All-School Mass begins Following Mass at approximately 9:50 a.m. – Special academic awards/honors, Staff recognitions Approximately 10:00 a.m. – 8th Grade Recognition and Send-Off Song Approximately 10:15 a.m. – K-7th grade students return to school building for 8th grade’s “Titan Walk” Approximately 10:30 a.m. – 8th grade meets at the flagpole for prayer End-of-Year envelopes distributed and dismissal from homerooms (6th and 7th grades in cafeteria) As we come to the end of the school year we have to say goodbye to four people who have been a part of our SASEAS family for many, many years. Suzan Strayer, Sandy Volman, Linda Phillips, and Carol Ducheny are all retiring. We wish them well and will always keep them in our prayers as the head off to new adventures. They will be missed! God Bless and have a great week, Nick Grieco Principal

From the Desk of Fr. Cordier... SASEAS School Students, Teachers, Staff, Parents, and Community, As this school year draws to a close, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for another incredible year. It has certainly been eventful with the loss of a principal in the middle of the year, but our students, teachers, staff, and families have stepped up beautifully. Furthermore, we are incredibly blessed to have Nick Grieco leading as our principal as we move forward. In addition to expressing my gratitude to all of you, I also want to assure you that our school will remain a top priority for me as your pastor. I continue to be amazed, encouraged, and inspired by the incredible things that are happening in our school. The academic achievements of our students are nothing short of astounding. Whether it be reaching the Regionals in the Spelling Bee, State in Power of the Pen, having the two highest scorers in the city on the High School Placement Tests, placing in the top-ten in a national Right to Life art competition, receiving the National Blue Ribbon Award, or countless other academic achievements, our students continue to perform at an incredibly high level. A big “thanks” has to be said to our teachers and staff who work so hard to help our students achieve at such a high level. I am very proud of our students and teachers. I am also very proud of the fact that we are the only Catholic Grade School in Cincinnati with a true Elementary and Jr. High Campus. But the reason our school continues to be very close to my heart is because it is a place that is especially focused on bringing our students to an encounter with Jesus Christ. It is a joy to know that our students are encountering the truth about Jesus Christ and His teachings in the classroom, and that they are given the opportunity to meet Him in Confession and in the Eucharist at Mass and Adoration. We even have many of our students asking to go to Confession and Mass more frequently! Our students love their Faith and they love Jesus Christ in the sacraments, and as a pastor there is nothing that could make me happier. For these reasons, I will continue to do everything in my power to ensure that our school remains an excellent place to learn and grow, and that it will be here for many more generations of students and families. Right now, we have a small committee of dedicated parents and teachers who are working on new ways to get the good news about our school into the community so that more families will choose SASEAS school. You will hear, and see, more about the work that this committee is doing soon. But for now, I simply want to assure all of you that I am totally committed to our school, and I look forward to watching it grow as more people come to see how truly unique and amazing this place is. Thank you for your dedication to our school, and let’s all continue to pray for the health of our school together. Mary Queen of Wisdom, Pray for Us. St. Andrew, Pray for Us. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Pray for Us. God bless, Fr. Michael Cordier Pastor

From Mrs. Aimee's Desk... Preschool News Preschool Webpage Well, here we are at the end of May, and what a fantastic year we’ve had at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Preschool! Preschool Graduation for all four and five-year-old classes will be held Thursday, May 30 th , at 7:00PM in the school cafeteria. Remember to enter through the main school doors which will be unlocked at 6:30 PM. Seating is limited, so please use the chairs for adults, especially grandparents. We are all looking forward to this special day. If you smell a sea breeze in the air and feel the sand between your toes this week, you might be joining the three-year-old classes for “Beach Week”. They are making jelly fish and a “Sea in a Bottle” in art. In math and language arts they are doing a letter and number review. In science they are learning all about sea shells, and they are wearing beach clothes to school in celebration of Beach Week. The theme for our four-year-old classes is Graduation. We are not only practicing for Graduation, but the four-year-olds are reviewing letters, numbers, and sight words. Their religion lesson is “Last Day” as they prepare themselves for summer break.  Our Pre-K class has an “End of School” theme as they practice writing their friend’s names and sign autograph books for each other. They are finishing up the year with a “Hula Hoop Day”. What a terrific way to end the school year. All of us at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Preschool wish all of you a safe and peaceful Summer Break. Aimee Limberg Preschool Director
