Message from our Principal

Dear Saint Sebastian Family,

Affirmation of the Week: “My actions speak louder than my words.”  In the hustle and bustle of life it is easy to get lost and not follow through with what we say. While our words have power, it loses its influence when a corresponding action doesn’t take place. Let us lead by example and show our brothers and sisters how to be Ambitious Scholars, Models of Christian Values and Socially Conscious Citizens in our daily lives. 

Mr. Suk

Principal

Costume Parade and Contest 

The Halloween Costume Contest will begin at 9:15 am this Thursday, October 31st  in the school yard. Students are asked to wear costumes that are appropriate for a school setting with young children on campus.

The guidelines include the following:
  • No weapons
  • No blood on the costume, mask, or skin
  • Appropriate outfits for a school setting
  • Includes skirt lengths and tightness 
  • Costume cannot be scary for younger children (Example – scary clown with blood on face)
Students come dressed up ready for the parade. Parents will be allowed to come and see the Halloween Costume Contest. Students can change by themselves after the event if they want to or they can wear their costumes all day.
