Message from our Principal

Dear Saint Sebastian Family,

Affirmation of the week:“I will be more dedicated and make less excuses.” Excuses make today easier and tomorrow harder, while discipline makes today harder but tomorrow easier. Discipline is what you must have in order to resist excuses. Help your children set themselves up for success by modeling discipline and giving them the structures to see their goals through. Let’s work together to help our Spartans be present in the learning moment and get their work finished.

Mr. Suk

Principal

VOLUNTEERS needed!

If you can volunteer at the Spring Book Fair starting next week, please let Mrs. Guevara know! We’ll be open every day from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

This is a great opportunity to complete your 40-hour volunteer commitment for the year. Remember that any unfinished hours will be added to a TADS invoice due at the end of May ($10 for each missing hour).

School Family Mass

Palm Sunday commemorates the entrance of Christ into Jerusalem, during which palm branches were placed in his path, before his arrest on Holy Thursday and his crucifixion on Good Friday. It thus marks the beginning of Holy Week, the final week of Lent.

Come join our Spartan Family for this very important Catholic Celebration!
