SES Weekly Update!

December 4-8, 2023

Father, let your hope arise in our hearts! Lift our eyes up to see that you alone are where our hope comes from. Help us to shake off the anxiety, discouragements, and distractions that have filled this year.

May we pause to remember that we have hope in you.

You know the end of our stories, and we give thanks because you have promised that it will be a victorious ending. Give us the grace we need to wrap up this year joyfully.

We invite your Spirit into this beautiful Advent season. Renew our sense of holy anticipation! Let us be those who are waiting eagerly for Jesus to come again.

More than anything, we ask that you be glorified in this season of expectation.

Amen.

Advent Giving Initiatives

During Advent we are preparing for the arrival of baby Jesus! What a joyous event it is to have a new baby, let alone one as special as the son of God. The word 'Advent' actually means waiting! We prepare our minds and hearts for Christ's birth in prayer, and in giving to those who need it. Please take a look at this letter that highlights two initiatives to support two agencies in our community, the Red Deer Christmas Bureau and 'Gifts for Grandparents' Please consider these opportunities to support those who need our help the most.

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. Your feedback is very important to help us serve your children best.
