Message from our Principal
Dear Saint Sebastian Family,
Affirmation of the Week: “I am happy and thankful for all that I have and receive daily.” For this week’s message I offer this prayer:
Thank you, Lord, for the blessings you have bestowed on our lives. You have provided us with more than we could ever have imagined. You have surrounded us with people who always look out for us. You have given us family and friends who bless us every day with kind words and actions.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
St. Sebastian, pray for us.
Amen.
Have a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving Break
Mr. Suk
Principal
We joined TWIN!
Two-Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools (TWIN-CS)
TWIN-CS is a national initiative to share dual language research, ideas, techniques and resources with the goal of supporting students in becoming bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate. The network’s innovative design and programming enables students to maintain their language and culture, while systematically transforming schools to dual language education.
Advent Raffle Days of Giving
For this is a mandatory fundraiser each family is required to sell $200 worth of tickets. If you are unable to sell the tickets, you can put them in your name to have a chance to win a prize!
Tickets are due on Monday December 2nd and can be paid directly to the office in cash or a check payable to Saint Sebastian School, or online via Zelle with the memo: Advent Raffle-(child’s name).
Your family and friends outside of Los Angeles can zelle you or the school and still be able to participate. We can send the winner check anywhere in the US!
The top 15 families that sell the most tickets and / or families that sell them first, will get priority seating at the Christmas concert! 15 families (2 people per family) will be able to sit on the second row to enjoy the whole concert.
Important Note: all missing fundraising will be added on TADS in an additional invoice due on May 30th, 2025
