From Mr. Wilburn's Desk
SASEAS families,

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a wonderful holiday with family and friends. We have so much for which to be thankful. Let us especially be thankful for the gift of our faith and a loving God who provides in so many ways. I am also so thankful for the countless people who contribute in many ways to making our school such a special place.

Please see our request below for "Why Wednesday" social media postings. We are asking families to help us in sharing the good news of our school by sending a family picture and paragraph about why you continue to choose our Catholic school. More info below!

Today was full of Thanksgiving traditions! We had our preschool and first grade feasts, and of course, the annual kindergarten Stone Soup performance and meal. Thank you to the many parents and staff who helped to create Thanksgiving memories for the children.

The first trimester ended last Friday. Be on the lookout for report cards next week on Thursday. Keep in mind that you can also log-in to your OptionC parent account to check student grades throughout the year.

In Christ's peace and love,
Mark Wilburn, Principal
Preschool News

Happy Thanksgiving! After much practicing, this week culminated with our Thanksgiving Feasts. Parents, grandparents, and special friends came to school to watch our talented preschoolers sing and dance. The performances were followed by a feast. The children brought different items to the feast, and before eating they gave thanks to God for all of the wonderful people in their lives.

Thank you so much for your generous response to our Thanksgiving food drive. The families came to pick up their Thanksgiving dinners last Friday, and they were amazed at the quantity of food that was provided them. They have more than enough food for Thanksgiving, and their pantries will be stocked for quite some time with extras.

As we near the end of November, look for the St. Vincent DePaul giving tree in the preschool hallway. We have adopted six families this holiday season. The six families have seventeen children ranging in age from one month to 16 years old. Families have asked for not only toys, but also shoes, coats, warm clothes and pajamas. If you can help, please come take an ornament from our giving tree. Return the unwrapped items with the ornament attached to the preschool office by Thursday, December 13 th . Thank you for your generosity and willingness to help those in need this Christmas season.

We will then post these submissions to our school Facebook page on Wednesdays leading up to our January Open House and registration period. Please send the picture and paragraph electronically to Pat Clayton at claytonp@saseas.org. Thank you!
