Jesus Take the Wheel Update

I talked to Mr. Elstro and he said, "The "Jesus take the Wheel" project is going well. In fact, Jesus took the Wheel and what a wild ride it has been. We launched this project at the worst time, during Christmas Break. But we prayed for discernment, direction and success for a transportation issue that has plagued us for years. We asked, and Jesus answered. We wanted three 12 passenger vans. In God's wisdom,  He guided us to a solution that provided a way to keep our students much safer than a van and we now have two mini buses. Amazing! Kudos to the student council, Seton Home & School and all the students and parishioners that are helping us as we are bringing the project to a close."

I hope that future Seton students will be able to enjoy and appreciate the hard work the school has poured into getting these buses and students will be able to use them for years to come.

Cinco de Mayo

https://www.cabrini.edu/blog/2020-2021-blogs/a-closer-look-at-cinco-de-mayo

It is the beginning of May and you know what that means, it's time for Cinco de Mayo! For those who do not know, Cinco de Mayo is a holiday celebrated based off Mexican culture on the fifth of May. The day celebrates the date of the Mexican army's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Although this is a minor holiday in Mexico, the United States celebrates Cinco de Mayo as a way to commemorate Mexican culture and heritage.

Traditions

In Mexico: To celebrate this holiday they have military parades, recreations of the Battle of Pueblas, and other festive festive events. Many Mexicans, however, view May 5 as any other day and it is not a federal holiday.

In the United States: We celebrate with parades, parties, mariachi music, Mexican folk dancing, and traditional foods; this includes tacos and mole poblano. The largest festivals are held in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.

Ways to celebrate while being respectful

1. Share the real story

2. Support Mexican businesses

3. Support Mexican arts and museums

4. Eat, Eat, Eat!

This Cinco de Mayo, celebrate with family and friends while respecting Mexican culture. Eat and enjoy their culture! Have fun!

Prom 2024

Prom season is officially here! The Seton Prom took place on April 27th at Forest Hills Country Club. The theme was Hollywood! The doors opened at 6:30pm, dinner started at 7pm, and the dance was from 8pm - 11pm. Students had a choice of Fettuccine Alfredo or Chicken Parmesan for dinner along with breadsticks and salad. There were also drinks, cake, rice crispy treats, cake pops, and popcorn. There were 48 people in attendance so it was a fun-filled night! Fabian Aleman's dad and sisters DJ'd prom. The students enjoyed dancing and hanging out with one another. The prom court was Madison Davis, Sophia Coyner, Malik Walker, and Diego Julian. All the students voted as they walked into prom. Prom King and Queen winners were Diego Julian and Sophia Coyner! Senior Logen Griffin says, "It was a great way to end senior year. This was definitely one of my favorite dances yet!" Overall, prom 2024 was a success!
