Greetings From Mr. Grieco...

Dear SASEAS school families,
It is hard to believe that we are halfway through our second Trimester already! Look for Midterm reports to go home with students in grades 4 - 8 on Friday. You can also look at your child’s grades online through OptionC.
Catholic Schools Week is the last week of January beginning with our Open House on January 26 at 12 pm. Please see the information below regarding our open house and how you can help us get the word out.
Make sure to mark your calendars for our second parent night with Scott Ervin:
The Kid Whisperer
. It will be held on Wednesday, January 22nd. His presentation will begin at 6:30 and go until 8:30. As an added bonus, Scott will be available beginning at 5:30 to hold a question and answer session before his presentation. So come early and ask Scott some specific questions that he can help you with. We will also be offering tours of the school for any prospective families who might attend. So please invite your neighbors and friends who may be interested in our school. Wine and Cheese and free babysitting will once again be provided!
Congratulations to our Seton Campus spelling bee winner Conor Flynn and to all our Seton campus spelling bee participants. You all did an amazing job and I hope you are as proud of yourselves as I am of you.
We also held our Seton Campus Saint awards and St. Andrew Campus Character Awards this week. The Seton campus Saint of the month was St. Nicholas and the trait was generosity. Our students were recognized for the virtue of faithfulness at the St. Andrew Campus. Congratulations to all the students nominated this month!

Preschool News
Preschool In-House Registration packets will be sent home to our current three-year-old students’ families this Thursday and Friday to be returned the week of January 21
st
for priority registration. All current SASEAS school families are eligible for priority registration, so if you would like a registration packet for an incoming preschooler, please contact the Preschool office at (513) 575-9900.
Mrs. Christina’s three-year-old class is learning about the letter “M” this week, as they find “M’s” in a letter search, make handprint Mittens in art, and learn that “M is for Muffin”. They are exploring magnets and paperclip counting in math. Mrs. Maura’s class is learning about the North Pole and the animals that live at the North Pole. They are discussing opposites and the letter “K” and making a “K is for King” page in language arts. In religion they are learning about Jesus the carpenter and sharing the family pages they made while praying for each other’s families.
Our four-year-old classes are exploring Hibernation and learning about the different animals that live in the forest, ocean, desert, and jungle. In their writing centers they are learning about the letter “L” and are writing the sight word “like”. In science they are matching animals to their habitats and tracks. They are discussing whether the animals hibernate, migrate, or adapt. The religion lesson this week is “God Made the Church and the Bible”.
Mrs. Wendy’s five-year-old class is learning about the letter “K” and the number “16”. Their sight word is “it”. The theme in the five-year-old class is Hibernation. They are learning about the animals that sleep during the winter and are focusing on bears. They are making bear caves in art, graphing teddy bears in Math, and matching letters to their letter sounds in language arts. They also get to participate in a Hibernation Celebration. They wear their pajamas to school and bring in a stuffed bear.
