Mrs. Wheeler's Weekly Update - May 1st, 2023

Dear Parents/Guardians of St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic School:

Welcome to May 1st – the month of Mary, of Catholic Education Week, of Asian Heritage Month and so many other important celebrations. The theme for Catholic Education Week is:

WE ARE MANY, WE ARE ONE

The five sub-themes for this week are: When we listen, When we See, When we reflect, When we learn, When we act

On a daily basis, we explore this week the importance of each of the intentional commitments for each of the sub-themes. Please feel free to explore this resource for more details: https://www.ocsta.on.ca/project/we-are-many-we-are-one-a-plusieurs-nous-sommes-un/

We are thrilled that our Seton Community Night is just 2 days away, Wednesday May 3rd, 5:30- 7:30 pm !! Amazing efforts on the part of our Council and school staff to make this a reality! This is a rain or shine event ( we can accommodate all activities outside or inside), here are a few details to date with some last minute surprises still to be shared:

• M and M BBQ ( pre-ordered only)

• Scholastic Book Fair • Glow in the Dark Coding Activities

• Bingo – over 70 prizes to be won, no charge to play
