St. Sebastian School, West LA

Pre-K to 8th Grade. Dual Language Immersion

Message from our Principal

Dear Saint Sebastian Family,

Affirmation of the Week: “I will think of the best possibilities instead of the worst ones.” We tend to imagine the worst case scenarios when we overthink. It makes us anxious, keeps us up at night, and puts you in a terrible mood. More often than not, it doesn’t even happen. Let’s work on imagining a brighter future for ourselves and each other! Good things are possible when we work together.

Mr. Andrew Suk
Principal

Let’s get together to give thanks for all the blessings we receive each morning when we say: Saint Sebastian, pray for us! See you there!
