Greetings From Mr. Estes... | |
Dear SASEAS Families,
I really enjoyed seeing the students in their Halloween costumes yesterday. One of the blessings of working in a school is continually being able to experience special occasions and holidays through the eyes of the students, especially the younger grades. I appreciate the enthusiasm and energy they bring to each day but it’s extra special during our holiday celebrations. Thank you to everyone who made time to celebrate with us; your presence certainly raises the enthusiasm level as well.
Happy All Saints Day! At mass today our fourth grade students helped us celebrate the lives of numerous saints by processing in with their saint shields. Each year fourth grade students choose a saint to research and construct a shield that represents significant components of the life of their chosen saint. I am always impressed with the shields and often learn surprising little pieces of information about the saints who have gone before us. As Fr. Del pointed out at mass today, our own journey toward sainthood began with our baptism and continues until we are blessed to share in the eternal glory of All Saints.
As you will see in the reminders section, next Thursday, November 9, is the final day of the first trimester; this means initial report cards will be sent home the following Friday. I’m not sure how we got here this quickly but here we are. While it’s optimal to do your best throughout the year, this is a good time to remind students to stay focused and finish strong. If you haven’t regularly been checking Option C, now is also a good time to log in and ensure that students have completed all work; missing assignments can significantly impact final grades.
If you are able, please join our faculty and staff as we honor our community veterans on November 10. We will have a celebratory program followed by breakfast with students and their veteran family members. I am pleased to announce that Jason Lain, a U.S. Air Force veteran and father of alumni Jack and Juliet, will be our guest speaker this year. Please see reminders for additional details.
Seek out your blessings and make it a great week!
Paul Estes

Dear Preschool families,
Our Preschool will be sponsoring four local families this holiday season. The families have children ranging in ages from baby to teen. They are in need of our assistance for their Thanksgiving Dinners and Christmas. This week a paper turkey is up in the Preschool hallway. If you’d like to donate an item for the Thanksgiving dinners, take a feather listing a needed food item from the turkey when you drop off your child or come for Parent Teacher Conferences. Send the feather and the item back in to the preschool office. Please return all items to the Preschool by Tuesday, November 14th. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
This week Mrs. Christina’s three-year-old class has a Halloween theme. They are so excited to have their Halloween party, and so grateful to all the parents who planned and helped out on Monday. Mrs. Maura’s classes have a Halloween theme this week, too. They are enjoying their Halloween party, learning about the Color Monster and feelings, and practicing using the Calm Down box. In religion they are learning the song “If I Were a Butterfly”, a great song about thanking God.
The theme in the four-year-old class is “Halloween”. They are sorting and graphing nocturnal animals in science and making bats in art. Because this is a short week due to Preschool Conferences, the 4s classes are reviewing the letters, numbers, and sight words they have learned so far this year. In religion they are learning about All Saint’s Day.
The five-year-old class is finishing up their Halloween centers this week. They are writing spider web names and counting Halloween items, while reviewing the numbers and letters they have learned so far this year. They will attend mass with the SASEAS K-8 on All Saint’s Day.
The Preschool Teachers are looking forward to meeting with our parents on Thursday and Friday this week. Please remember that there are no classes for preschool on November 2nd and 3rd.
Thank you,
Mrs. Aimee
