Greetings From Mr. Grieco...

Dear SASEAS school families,
As Thanksgiving approaches, there is no better time for us all to stop, reflect, and give thanks for the many blessings from God we enjoy – especially our families and friends. I pray that all of us get the time to spend with the people that mean the most to us this Thanksgiving.
I look forward to seeing everyone at the
Kid Whisperer
presentation tonight. Remember that the presentation begins at 6:30 pm and goes until 8:30 pm. There will be wine and cheese beginning at 6 pm if you would like to come early. Also, to all our preschool parents, remember that there is a Kindergarten information open house tonight beginning at 5:30 and lasting until 6:30.
Free babysitting
will be provided for both events starting at 5:30 pm and lasting until 8:30pm. Babysitting will be located in the preschool wing of the Seton campus.
Tonight, Wednesday, November 20th is a PTO restaurant fundraiser night at
Freddy’s Steakburgers
. It runs from 4pm – 9pm. It’s the perfect opportunity to feed your family and support the school before heading to school for the Preschool parent Kindergarten open house or the Kid Whisperer presentation or both!
Student report cards will be coming home Thursday for the Seton Campus and on Friday for the St. Andrew Campus. Please sign the envelope and return; you can keep the report card. I’m very proud of the wonderful effort our students displayed in first trimester and am thankful for such dedicated teachers. Should you have any questions about the specifics of a class grade, please consult the individual assignment grades on OptionC and/or contact the classroom or specials teacher.
Good luck to our eighth graders who will be taking the High School Placement Test this Saturday. You will do great!
Please note that next Tuesday both campuses will celebrate Mass on Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. The kindergarten class will perform the annual
Stone Soup
play at
10:30 – 11:30.

From Mrs. Aimee's Desk...
Preschool News
Thank you so much for your generous response to our Thanksgiving food drive. The families are coming to pick up their Thanksgiving dinners Friday, and I am excited at the quantity of food that was provided them. They have plenty for Thanksgiving, and their pantries will be stocked for quite some time with extras.
Mrs. Maura’s three-year-old class is talking turkey. They are doing a turkey shape sort in math with scissors and gluing practice and playing the game “Mr. Turkey, do you have my feather?” during circle time. They are reading the stories Run Turkey Run and The Thankful Book this week. They are also making turkey headbands to wear to their Thanksgiving Feast. Mrs. Christina’s class is working on tracing and drawing shapes. Their weekly focus is on the letter “I”, the number “3”, rectangles, and the color brown. They are making their placemats and head bands for their feast and painting turkeys with sponges dipped in red, yellow, and orange paint. In religion they are learning that “God made me so I can Share”.
Our four-year-old classes have a Thanksgiving theme this week. Along with practicing their songs for their feast performances they are making Turkey Handprint placemats. They are learning about the letter “H” and the sight word “hi” in language arts, and the number “7” in math. They are also working with Turkey ten frames and ordering objects from smallest to largest. In religion they have a special lesson on Thanksgiving.
Our five-year-old class is continuing their Thanksgiving theme this week. They are practicing for their Feast Performance and preparing Turkey headbands which will be worn during the performance. They are writing “I am thankful for____” sentences while focusing on the letter “Y” and the sight word “you”. They are practicing “Turkey Addition” in math and are reviewing the number 11. They are learning about magnets in science and are discussing what they are thankful for in religion class.

Financial Assistance
As we plan for the 2020-2021 school year, we want to apprise you of three different grant programs available to assist our SASEAS School families. It is the desire of both St. Andrew and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parishes that any family who wants to send their children to our school is given every opportunity and as much aid as possible. We want every family to take advantage of the excellent Catholic education that we offer.
1. "One Faith, One Hope, One Love" Campaign: The newest program awarding grant money is a result of the recent Archdiocesan campaign and more information is available at:
Tuition support grants are awarded in $250, $500, $750, and $1200 per student amounts. Families must first apply for this support before seeking parish/school support.
The initial deadline is January 31, 2020.
2. The tuition assistance program that is administered by SASEAS School awards approximately $20,000 annually to St. Andrew and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parishioners. Contact the school principal for more information.
Application for both of these programs can be accessed through the school web site
www.saseasschool.org
by clicking on the
FACTS link
