Dear Seton Families,
Together we have shared many joys as well as sorrows through the years, and always have come together as a family to support one another. This week we all are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of a beloved parent and member of the Seton family. After bravely battling cancer for many months, Mr. Steven Armstrong passed away on Monday. He is the father of Mason, a fifth-grade student. Please remember the Armstrong family most especially in your prayers as they move through this difficult time.

Blue Zone
Children can be picky eaters. Introduce new foods to kids when they are hungry or as an appetizer at the beginning of a meal. They are more likely to try something new and nutritious when they have an empty belly.
