Dear Seton Families,

What a wonderful start we had to the festive season with our Christmas concert and Nativity play on Tuesday evening. We hope you enjoyed all the performances! We are very proud of our students and thank Ms. Watson for all her hard work and dedication to produce such a great show. Additionally, thanks to Mrs. Winter for once again producing an enjoyable re-enactment of the First Christmas. Have a blessed weekend as we celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception on Saturday.

ADVENT SERVICE PROJECT ~ 12 Days of Christmas Giving

Sponsored by SES National Junior Honor Society and Student Council

St. Elizabeth Seton School is continuing to collect food donations to support the Weekend Power Pack Food Program of Catholic Charities in Collier County. This program provides homeless elementary students living in Collier County with food to sustain them through the weekend when school meals are not available. The students receive containers of nutritious food on Fridays so they will have sustenance throughout the weekend.

Many thanks to everyone for the donations we received thus far. All items should be individually sized – just like you would pack in a lunch box! Bring donations to prayers each morning. NJHS and Student Council members will collect them. Students are encouraged to donate on as many days as they would like! See the remaining schedule:

  • Monday, 12/10 – Cereal Bars
  • Tuesday, 12/11 – Macaroni & Cheese
