Dear Families,

A big thank you to all the volunteers who made our Spooks & Spoofs/Trunk & Treat party such a wonderful event. Special thanks to Michelle Thomet, Jodi Perrone, Tina Crichton and Didi Lemberger for coordinating all the activities. I saw first-hand all the dedication, hard work and new ideas that went into making this so enjoyable for our students and families. Praise be to God for the wonderful weather!

The first trimester ends Friday, November 11th. Conferences for all grades are scheduled Monday, November 21st from 4:00-8:00pm, and Tuesday morning, November 22nd, from 8:00-11:00am. Monday night conferences will be in person only. Tuesday morning you will have the option of an in-person conference or a virtual conference. A signup genius for conferences and information about how to access the report card will be coming out soon. 

These conferences are during Thanksgiving week. School is in session on Monday, November 21st. Starting on Tuesday, November 22nd, students have off school for the rest of the holiday week. 

Did you know that a portion of the proceeds from the Seton Volleyball Tournament are designated to be distributed to the Foundation for Religious Retirement and the Waukesha County Catholic Schools Tuition Assistance Fund? It is used to make Catholic school education a real possibility for those students who would not otherwise be able to afford full tuition. Assistance is awarded in the form of $1,000 grants. Monies are given to the school and are credited to the family. Since the beginning of the Seton, over $100,000 in scholarships have been awarded to families. The following link will provide you with more information and access to the application. Please know that to be considered, the application must be completed, signed by myself or Fr. Peter and received on or before April 1, 2023. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Blessings,

Mrs. Mary Tretow

Still Searching for Sheep...

We are looking for any size lamb/sheep stuffed animals to use as props in our Christmas concert this year! If you have a stuffed animal we can borrow, please send it to school with your child and bring it to Mrs. Kesler.

Please make sure to label your stuffy with your name so we can make sure it gets back to your family after the concert. Thank you for your help!

...and Legos!

Our playroom could use some more Legos, to replace some that have broken or disappeared. If you have any Legos that you wish to donate, our kindergartners would be most appreciative! Lego donations may be dropped off at the school office. Thank you!
