Teacher and Appreciation and Wellness Fund Expenditures

2015-2016 St. Sebastian Socials

Teacher and Appreciation and Wellness Fund Expenditures

Dear St. Sebastian Parents and Parishioners,

Seven years ago, we had this crazy idea that we could have FUN and UNIQUE parties that would build and strengthen our St. Sebastian community and raise money for teachers while doing so! Every year we strive to have several Socials for the entire St. Sebastian community as well as one for each grade. Year after year we accomplish this effort, and because of the generosity of the St. Sebastian community, we are able to show our teachers a little extra love. We are able to donate 100% of the ticket price to attend each Social directly to The St. Sebastian Teacher Appreciation and Wellness Fund.This is made possiblebecause we have the most wonderful parents and parishioners that step up to plan and pay forthese parties. A BIG thank you to all our Social Hosts that helpaccomplish our mission. Our Socials Newsletter comes out twice a year. It sums up the Socials that have taken place as well as reports the money raised and how the funds were spent.Below you will see all the wonderful things that the Socials provided our teachers over the 2015-2016 school year. Please try to attend your child's grade Social every year. It is a great way to foster new friendships, build the foundation of our Catholic community, and support our teachers.
