St. Sebastian's Weekly Newsletter

Thank you to the many family members that joined us today for VIP day! It was a wonderful turnout and I could tell our students were very proud to share their school. We also went to mass for the first time as a whole school today. It went well and we will continue to learn about mass every week. Please remember to join us this Sunday at the 9:15am mass and blessing of the school. Our students will be singing "Jesus Loves Me" at the mass. There will be pews reserved for our St. Sebastian STEM Academy families. Have a great weekend and I hope to see you on Sunday!

Safe environment education sessions

In order to volunteer in our building or at any school events you need to have a background check and have completed the Safe Environment Training. If you were unable to make the September 13th date there are many options available online in our area. If you do not remember if you have had this training in the past please reach out to me and I can look you up in our system. Please share this with anyone you know that is interested in volunteering at the school. I highly recommend doing this if you plan on being involved in any school events.

Here are the directions to sign up:

Once class is complete the background check will run and once that is back and clear, you will be certified and can start volunteering.

Pics of the Week!

Spotlight on STEM!

3K is using magnifying glasses at our Science table to look closely at items we collect at recess. So far, we have found dandelions, rocks, and a leaf. We are using early math skills when we sing and do fingerplays of 5 Little Monkeys Swinging on a Tree and 5 Little Ducks.

4K Our 4K students are engaging in STEM ACTIVITIES throughout the day . We are reading the book Me and My Amazing Body . Students are building with legos , wooden blocks and magnetic tiles . They are creating and forming different objects with playdough and cookie cutters . In housekeeping they are pretending to make / cook healthy meals . They also engaged in sensory play in the sand table.

5K We are continuing to explore Pushes and Pulls and have been exploring number concepts with the Noons.
