Professional Film Crew

Another reminder of the professional film crew in our building from Wednesday morning, August 28 through Thursday evening, August 29. Robert Isaacson and company have been hired to direct and create an Admission's video for our website and recruitment efforts. Mr. Isaacson has created many videos for high schools and universities across the area and has recently been hired by HGTV to film episodes of their new show, House Hunters Renovation in Baltimore, MD. We are fortunate to be able to work with such a talented crew and anticipate a very polished and professional glimpse into Seton. Please click here to view some of Robert's work.

As always please be mindful of sending your daughters to school in their proper uniforms as the crew will be filming in hallways, classrooms, and across campus. Thank you for your continued support in our recruitment efforts.

Seton Equestrian Club

Like Horses?  Then join the Seton Equestrian Club.
 
We practice once a week on Saturday morning/early afternoon at Celtic Acres Farm in Upper Marlboro, MD (http://www.celticacresfarm.com/Seton-Equestrian-Team.html).  We run both a competitive show team practice as well as a beginner practice, so you do not have to know how to ride to join the Equestrian Club, however you will have to be comfortable at a walk, trot, and canter in order to show. I am the parent of Seton student and I volunteer my time and my horses free of charge to anyone interested in joining the team.
 
For more advanced riders, the Seton Equestrian Club participates in shows run by the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA).  The IEA series offers riders in grades 6th-12th a unique opportunity to compete in a sport that is normally not offered in schools. They emphasize a positive atmosphere of fair play, goodwill, and sportsmanship. They allow riders of all levels, the chance to compete in a safe environment. Through the IEA, students have the opportunity to earn scholarships towards their college education through awards in competition and through sportsmanship activities. For more information, you can visit their websitehttp://www.rideiea.org/about/index.html.
 
Anyone interested in joining the team, should email Mrs. Bridget Rice at celticacresfarm@yahoo.com for more information.

Physical Examination

Any student wishing to try out for a 2013-2014 sports team (including cheerleading) must have a new physical, performed after June 1, on file in the clinic. Forms can be found on our website www.setonhs.org under Athletics and Admissions, or click here.

Seton will run a bus from Marlo Shopping Center at 3300 Marlo Lane in Forestville to the Eastern Market at 225 7th Street SE in Washington, DC.
