Parent Meeting
PARENT MEETING - APRIL 11
Dear Parents,
I would very much like to invite all of you to the Parent Club meeting on April 11th at 7:00 in the auditorium. At this meeting, I will be talking with the parents about a vision for Seton that involves our academic growth. This growth definitely relates to the educational enrichment of all students.
At the heart of my talk is the sacrifice and the hopes that I find so evident in the parents of Elizabeth Seton High School. This is an extraordinary measure of the parents' love for their daughters.
Please clear your calendars and take the time to hear about Seton.
I would love to see the auditorium filled as if it were September and we were having Back to School Night. Students are welcome to attend with their parents.
Thank you,
Sister Ellen Marie
