View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Good morning!  Last week I was invited to a meeting for St. Sebastian Sports Project. They have generously chosen our school as one of 60 schools to receive a grant for our sports program! I am very excited about this partnership because it is about so much more than the grant. This foundation has many amazing opportunities for our young student athletes such as special days at USC & LMU, tickets to sporting events, & an exclusive leadership academy!  The last week was a particularly eventful in the school office. I have attached our Christian Code of Conduct from the Archdiocese (can also be found in our handbook). Please read & review it with your students. It is our job to set positive examples and expectations for everyone on our campus. Thank you. Reminders: -Dance Class for grades TK-5 began Thursday after school. If you are interested, please see the school office. -We are holding tryouts for a cheer team on Friday, September 20th from 12:30-1:30pm. Go Spartans! Have a great week! Mrs. Giron & Ms. Aceves THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century This tip is fromChildMind.org:  "E-Cigarettes and Vapes. E-cigarettes are now the most frequently used tobacco product among adolescents — some 2.1 million middle and high school students were e-cigarette users in 2017.” Mrs. Giron says: Now with these vape companies marketing more directly to our younger children, there are more and more  students trying out this new form of smoking. It can be scary for parents because some vapes look like everyday objects such as USB drives!
