Hello from Mrs. McCauley
"Let your light shine before others." Matthew 5:16
Welcome to October! We had another great week at St. Sebastian. Please pay attention to the important notes below. Our Catholic Schools Walk is coming up! Thank you to the many families working to raise money for our school. We hope to use this money for a playground for our students to enjoy. We set our goal at $5,000 and are currently just short of $2,000. This is amazing as our school is small but please help us to continue the fundraising efforts! The Archdiocese matches up to $5,000. The walk will take place at the Siena Center on October 14th at 9am. Please see the information below. We would love to have everyone there to represent St. Sebastian STEM Academy! Please join us at our home and school meeting Monday! There is more information on this below.
