It's getting dark so early, but in only a month, when the Winter Solstice comes around, we'll be able to look forward to the gradual return of longer days. Meanwhile, we have Thanksgiving to brighten our lives, with the excitement and hustle bustle of Christmas following. As we approach this season of gratitude and joyfulness, we are so thankful for our Mother Seton School alums, as well as our current students and faculty and staff. You make our lives bright!
In this busy season, I hope you're able to slow down for a minute, take a breath, appreciate the blessings you enjoy and have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Marshall Mott (MSS 2017)
Congratulations to Marshall Mott (MSS 2017) who recently signed to attend the University of Pennsylvania and pitch for their team, the Quakers. What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is the fact that Marshall is still a junior at Gettysburg High School. His talent on the mound resulted in an early offer from UPenn, and Marshall decided to accept. He is considering pursuing a degree in a business-related area. Way to go, Marshall!
