Seton Diamonds Trip to DC Fashion Week!
The Seton Diamonds Club is sponsoring a trip to attend the DC Fashion Week Emerging Designer Showcase. The show will take place on Saturday, September 24 from 6-9pm at the Liaison Hotel at 415 New Jersey Ave NW. A special rate is being given to anyone going as part of the Diamonds group. If you're interested in attending please send an email to Jodie Johnson at jjohnson@setonhs.org by Friday, 9/16.
Permission slips are available in the Main Office as well as with Mrs. Johnson.

On September 24, the Vincentian Service Club will host their annual Friends of the Poor Walk.  We will walk the Seton track from 9am til 11am (registration begins at 8:30am); family members are welcome to register and join us at the Walk as well!

This is our main fundraiser for all the service activities which the Vincentian Service Club will be participating in this year. Some things we have done in the past include buying coats for Port Towns and Rogers Heights Elementary students, raising money to send students to school in Haiti, and grocery shopping to fill the shelves of local food pantries.

Each student who participates will receive 2 service hours, and the cost of registration is $10. Students can register online with a credit card at www.svdpusa.net/walk/1503 or bring $10 to Campus Ministry to register. We encourage students to share the link with others and help the VSC raise as much money as possible for our work in serving the poor in our area and abroad.

The first 100 people who have paid and registered will receive a Friends of the Poor Walk t-shirt.

Thank you and we hope to see you all there!
