SES Weekly Update!
December 18-22, 2023
I will light candles this Christmas.
Candles of joy, despite all the sadness.
Candles of hope where despair keeps watch.
Candles of courage where fear is ever present.
Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days.
Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens.
Candles of love to inspire all of my living.
Candles that will burn all the year long.

Hello SES families! It's the third week of Advent!
Cheers to:
- Mrs. Noble, Mrs. Andrew and Mrs. Miller, who led our ski club to Canyon Ski Hill on Wednesday!
- Mrs.Murray, and the 3M class, who led the Third Week of Advent mass at St. Mary's Parish, which was streamed live!
ALERT - AHS Respiratory Illness Outbreak Notification
We are very sad to report that due to an increasing number of students absent due to illness, the CDC has given the St. Elizabeth Seton School an outbreak designation. This has implications for our school community over the next week. Please refer to the atttached letter from our school distributed on Tuesday regarding our school's status, and another from Alberta Health Services.

Career Day
Our students will be focusing on career exploration at the start of the new year. We will be having our CAREER DAY on Friday January 26, 2024 from 12:45-3:00. It is an honor and a privilege to invite you to participate in our day! There will be approximately four 20 minute repeated sessions that afternoon. Most speakers spend time talking about their career, what got them interested in the career, and sometimes have an experiential part to their presentation, where students can “try” something pertaining to the career. Please complete the google form that was sent to your email or contact Mrs. Surridge directly at our school.
SES- How Are we Doing?
We are now into our fourth month of school, and we are working hard to make every child's experience the richest it can be!
If you have a few minutes, this is a form for our St. Elizabeth Seton families to let us know how we are doing in serving the students and families of our school community. Last week we had a glitch with the form- now we can say it is working well. Your feedback is very important to help us serve your children best.
