SETON SCHOOL WIDE SERVICE PROJECT
In conjunction with Respect for Life Month during October, our school is partnering with Community Pregnancy Clinics (CPCI) in Collier County. This organization provides many support services for mothers and babies in need, including pregnancy health services, counseling, crisis intervention, prenatal classes and material support. Our partnership with CPCI offers an opportunity to support a culture of life by contributing to help many families in the area who have minimal resources.
A development coordinator from CPCI spoke with all students today and middle school students had a brief tour of the CPCI’s mobile clinic. Each class was given a Baby Bottle Bank to collect money throughout the month of October. Additionally, there are donation bins in the Parish Center to collect baby items such as diapers, wipes, baby wash/shampoo, and new or gently used baby clothes in sizes newborn through 5T.
See the flyer for more information. Your generosity in supporting this worthy service project is most appreciated.
POPPIN POPCORN TIME for 4th and 5th Grade
Fourth and Fifth Grades will be selling bags of popcorn to raise money for a two-part field trip. These classes will be traveling to Florida Gulf Coast University and the Corkscrew Swamp. The popcorn will cost 50 cents per bag. The popcorn will be delivered to classrooms on Friday, October 5th. Please give your money to your classroom teacher no later than Thursday, October 4th.
