We are so proud of our Seton Catholic students who worked joyfully to freshen up the outside of our school! They picked up trash, pulled weeds, planted flowers and laid fresh mulch. Be sure to drive by our campus to see the fruit of all their hard work!

“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

We had the privilege of having two Carmelite sisters join us from the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus in Milwaukee. They shared with us their vocation as Carmelite sisters, and the origin of their order among many other beautiful things. They were vessels of joy in our building, and we were so blessed to have them! Thank you Srs. Gabriela and Carmelita!

Our school is participating in Box Tops for Education, which means that you can earn cash with the products you already buy to help our school get the supplies it needs. Here’s how you can help: 1. Download the Box Tops app on your phone and follow instructions on how to set up an account and sign up to support our school. 2. Then, just shop as you normally would. 3. Use the app to snap a photo of your receipt within 14 days of purchase. It’ll automatically identify any Box Tops participating products and you’ll give back to our school with each product you buy. If you shop online or with grocery pickup, you can submit your digital or email receipt with the app, too. Twice a year, our school will get a check. Let’s see how much we can earn!

You can help us raise money by using gift cards instead of cash or credit to pay for everyday purchases like groceries, gas, dining out, that morning coffee addiction, even your family’s summer vacation. Please see the attached form for places in our community that with your patronage help us earn funds. Fill out the form below and your order will be filled and available for pickup at the school office.

Our students represented Seton well... they listened to the docents respectfully and participated in the discussions, sat quietly and listened during the shows, and refrained from touching the artifacts.
