Principal’s Update:
As mentioned in a previous Lumen News, we are scheduling weekly volunteer opportunities on Friday afternoons at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School for both parents and students. Not only will students earn credit towards their Faith in Action requirements while helping out their fellow Catholic school brothers and sisters, but parents can earn Share Hours for volunteering to drive and assisting where necessary. Our first opportunity is next Friday, November 4th. Please contact our Campus Minister, Liz Loeffler, ([email protected]) for details. Additional opportunities are scheduled for Nov 18th, Dec 2nd, Dec 9th, and Dec 16th.
I hope everyone enjoys the day off from school tomorrow and has a safe and wonderful weekend. See you Monday morning in your Halloween costumes!
