St. Sebastian's Weekly Newsletter
August 25, 2023
Hello from Mrs. McCauley
I want to thank you all for a wonderful first week! We had our fair share of bumps in the road from a power outage to extreme heat but we still had a great week thanks to our dedicated faculty and staff and excited students who were ready to learn! Thank you to those of you that generously brought in popsicles and fans to help with the heat and even some kringle to raise our spirits! I am so excited for what this year has in store. We are so blessed with the re-opening of St. Sebastian and we are working to make it the best place possible for our students.I want to thank you for sending your children to our school and being an integral piece of making St. Sebastian STEM Academy an incredible place to be!

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. We will be having a training at St. Sebastian on September 13th from 3-6pm. If this date or time does not work for you 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.
