Lost & Found
Please take a moment to check the school Lost & Found collection next week for any items that may belong to your child(ren). Unclaimed items will be donated to Goodwill. The Lost & Found is located downstairs under the stairwell.
Overdue Library Books
The library staff works very hard to bring awareness to students when library books are overdue. However, there are some instances where library books become 30 or more days past due. In those few instances, the office will be sending parents an invoice through FACTS for the value of replacing the book. If upon receipt of an invoice you find the book, the invoice will be canceled when the book has been returned to the library.
Invoices for lost books will need to be paid within 15 days of receipt. Any outstanding invoices will result in the withholding of report cards.
Davey Children Scholarship
We are excited to announce the return of the Davey Children Scholarship to the SEES community. Students who will be in grades 4 through 7 during the 2024-2025 school year are welcome to apply. The application window is open through May 1, 2024. All submissions will go directly to the Davey Family. DETAILS
Altar Server Training May 14
Hello 3rd-8th grade families!
Is your son or daughter looking for a fun way to serve their church and school community? If so, we would love to have them join our altar serving team!
Andrew McCarthy (youth minister at St. Edward) will be holding a training for new altar servers on Tuesday, May 14 at 8:00 am. If your student is interested in becoming an altar server, please sign them up for this training by filling out this Google form. A list of students attending this training will be shared with homeroom teachers so students will not be marked tardy or absent, and they will return to class as soon as the training is over (before classes head to Mass).
Please let Rachel Franklin ([email protected]) or Andrew ([email protected]) know if you have any questions.
CCHASM Toiletry Outreach
The leaders of our Faithful Friends group and The Girls on the Run would like to thank everyone for their support of our little toiletry outreach! There were students (and faculty) who aren’t involved in either group that contributed to this effort! Our JK friends happily delivered the “goods” to the church office and brought smiles and joy to Jen Snider and the other “church ladies”! They will spread this feeling further when they deliver them to CCHASM!
SEES Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10 and the theme this year will be: “SEES Teachers Mean the World to Us!”
The week will include special treats/activities each day for our teachers to help them feel appreciated for all that they do for our children! We have two opportunities for parents to volunteer:
1. We will be providing teachers with the gift of time and will be covering their lunch duties for the week! (They are beyond excited!!!) Please sign up to help out and BONUS- you’ll get to see your child and their friends at lunch! What fun! (Pre-K parents will cover recess duty!)
2. We will also stock the teacher’s lounge with paper products, drinks, and snacks. I know our teachers will greatly appreciate this to help them get through the end of the school year!
