Week of December 9, 2024
Please Note
On Monday, December 9, we will attend Mass at 9:30am for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. There will be no school mass on Wednesday 12/11.
Fri., Dec. 13 – Christmas Program 6pm
We are delighted to invite you to our Annual Christmas Program on Friday, December 13th, at 6:00 PM. This special evening will showcase the talent and hard work of our students in a one-hour concert filled with beautiful music to celebrate the Christmas season.
Here are the details:
- Performers: Pre-K3 through fifth-grade students, school chorus, sixth-grade beginner band, and seventh and eighth-grade band.
- Directors: Mrs. Scaduto, Chorus and Elementary Music teacher and Mr. Desmarais, Band Director will lead our performances.
- Duration: One hour 6pm-7pm
- Where: Seton school gym
We kindly ask all families to remain for the entire concert (except our youngest performers PK3, PK4 and Kindergarten) as our children have dedicated themselves to this performance, and it means so much for them to share their accomplishments with you.
Students in grades PK3-grade 5 are asked to dress in their Sunday, Christmas best. Students will be singing on risers, so parents should use caution when helping determine clothing for the program. High heeled shoes, bows, hats, and headpieces which may alter the view of another performer should be avoided. Students in band, please wait for specific instructions regarding dress from Mr. Desmarais. Additional details will be sent from individual teachers and/or Mrs. Scaduto and Mr. Desmarais regarding locations and time to drop off your performer.
Finally, if there is something that will prevent your child/ren’s from attending (PK3-Gr. 5) the program, please email Mrs. Scaduto at scaduto@seseton.org.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to celebrating with you!
