If you would like your child’s picture re-taken, please be sure to return the envelope with the original pictures enclosed. If this is the first picture to be taken, please fill out the payment envelope and enclose your payment by check or credit card. If your child was absent on the first picture day and you do not plan on purchasing any pictures, your child will still need to have their picture taken for Yearbook. If you should have any questions, please contact Ms. Kelly in the school office at 239-455-2262. Thank you!
Giving Thanks with Mystic Monk Coffee!
Dear Parents,
Let’s give thanks to God this Thanksgiving for the gifts of faith, family, and Mystic Monk Coffee. We are continuing our coffee fundraising efforts for the middle school N.E.T. Retreat and this time it is a quick sale. Our catalog is updated with the biggest selections we’ve ever been able to offer! You can shop Coffee, Teas, Monks Shots (K-cups), and Seasonal Coffees and Hot Chocolate.
Inside our updated catalog, you find all your favorite Fall and Winter flavors: Pumpkin Spice (available for Sept.-Nov.), Thanksgiving Blend (available for Oct.-Nov.), Cinnamon Coffee Cake (Nov. only), Christmas Blend (Nov.-Dec.), and Jingle Bell Java (Nov.- Dec.), Candy Cane and Jingle Java Hot Chocolate. Checks should be made out to St. Elizabeth Seton School for all orders. Our sale deadline is Friday Nov.8 so we can have your order here by Thanksgiving.
Our next order will be in late November, early December in which your favorite Christmas blends will still be available. This might be a perfect opportunity to start your gift shopping for the upcoming holidays! Spread the word around if you can.
Our middle school students thank you in advance. Not only do you support us with your purchase, but you also help the Carmelite monks who roast and brew the coffee. Supporting two in one shot…blessings from heaven!
Peace in Christ,
Mr. Ganse

If you can help, please contact Mrs. Groch at groch@seseton.org. Thank you!
Do you have light carpentry skills? Mrs. Winter would greatly appreciate the construction of a life-sized manger for the Nativity play and for her drama class.

Box of Joy (A ministry of Cross Catholic Outreach)
At Christmas we experience the joy of our Lord Jesus Christ and gift giving is a wonderful part of that experience. But severe poverty in developing countries deprives children of this joy. Parents are simply too poor to provide gifts. The Box of Joy ministry will allow the Seton parish and school community to send joy to the world!
Prayerfully consider if you’d like to participate in this service project and if your family would like to fill more than one Box of Joy. Thank you in advance for participating in this simple yet tangible service experience that has both a material and spiritual impact on the poorest of the poor in developing countries. For more information on Box of Joy, visit https://crosscatholic.org/boxofjoy/
