Service Hours for Seton Parents
 
Hello Seton Parents,
        We cordially invite you to a painting party on June 20.  We are going to start painting at 8:30 in the morning and continue until about 2:00 in the afternoon.  We invite you to come for any part of that time period.  Seton Parents can get a head start on their service hours for school year 2015-16 or finish service hours from school year 2014-15
         We want to be sure we have enough supplies so if you are planning on coming, please email Sister Ellen Marie at ehagar@setonhs.org to let us know.  Parents will be able to enter through the cafeteria doors.
         This is a great way to meet parents and to contribute to our school.
Thank you for your support.
Sister Ellen Marie

Tuition
 
A reminder to all that tuition for 2015-2016 begins in June. FACTS will withdraw payments in June and July.  Two monthly payments must be made before students begin school in August.

Reports Cards
 
Final Reports Cards will be available on the portal beginning on Monday June 8th.
We will not mail a copy of the report card this year.

Please contact your Teacher and your Guidance Counselor if you have any questions about your grades.

Caring for Carly
 
On behalf of Carly and the entire Nguyen family, we want to say "thank you" to all of you for your prayers, gifts, donations, visits, etc.  At Elizabeth Seton High School, we are truly a family, and your support has been a testament to this.  Carly is going to need a bone marrow transplant and our immediate goal is to help her find a perfect match who will become her bone marrow donor.  We must act rather quickly since Carly will need to have her transplant by the end of June.  

We held a bone marrow donor drive on Friday, June 5 and collected 76 completed donor kits.  We are grateful for everyone who donated and shared the information.  We still have extra kits, so please continue to spread the word and if anyone wants to complete a test kit at school.

People in need of a bone marrow transplant are most likely to find a perfect match with some who is of the same race and ethnicity as the patient.  We are most interested in testing members of the Vietnamese community and/or other Asian communities (ages 18-44 are preferred). The entire test to determine if you are a match for Carly takes less than 5 minutes. Please help us to spread the word.  Please email Ms. Melissa Davey at mdavey@setonhs.org if you have any questions.

We have created a "Caring fo Carly" google document for families who wish to sign up to provide a meal/gift card, prayer, visit and/or card/note to Carly and her family.  Please click here to access the google document and click  here to read the directions regarding the document and what opportunities are available to support Carly and her family.  

Christine Nguyen, Carly's sister, has created a "gofundme" page for the family.  Please click here to access Carly's "gofundme" page.  Please consider a monetary donation to help the family offset Carly's medical bills.  

Please click here to see the youtube video created during our school wide "Orange" day to support Carly and to raise Leukemia awareness.  

Feel free to visit the school social media accounts to learn more about our school efforts for Carly.  We will update the school social media accounts with announcements about upcoming events to help Carly and her family.
