As Mr. Sullivan stated in his letter, we are asking for your input on our end of the year parent survey.

The survey is very short, anonymous, and asks a few specific questions and has a few general questions. Your answers help give us an idea about what works well at SEAS and what are some challenges we have.

If we get 75 responses by 8:00pm on June 2nd, we will have an out-of-uniform day on Wednesday, June 7th for field day. Simply click the link below to answer the six questions.

No need to RSVP - just come and bring a friend to this night of fun. Questions? Contact Jill Skaife at 651-437-4254 x225 or email [email protected].

Our summer study aims to tell the story of Jesus in a fresh way and may help us come face to face with this central figure of human history. Through reading, video, and discussion, we present a portrait of Jesus that anyone can see and understand, but you will be challenged and stimulated. We hope to see you Thursdays from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in the Guardian Angels Room beginning June 1. Email Mary Ellen at [email protected] with questions. seasparish.org/adult-formation#sss
