This year Mother Seton had 2 buses go off to the Festival at Union County College. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Our </span>Gospel Choir performed as a group for the first time and sounded great. Other students participated by displaying their artwork and photography. Others performed individually. Everyone had a great time. </span></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></span></strong> </div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We are just finished cleaning up after the <span style="color:#009900;">Annual Gift Auction</span> and once again, out parents did a fantastic job. This year the theme was all about SPORTS and everyone participated. We all helped to set up the gym and cafeteria and many of the students decorated, served food and worked as runners. Best of all there were some fantastic gifts. The homerooms <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">contributed</span> and the families as well. Some of the gifts included an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Ipod</span> shuffle, bicycles, gift certificates in baskets that valued up to $275 dollars and even Yankee, Met Net and Devils tickets. There was even a chance to win Driving School!<br /> This year, we had one Devil's suite on the first level for 4 !<br /></div></span></span></strong><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We no sooner finished that on Friday night, when we realized that on Saturday we had the <span style="color:#009900;">Saturday Enrichment Program</span>. This Program is offered to 5, 6, 7, and 8<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> grade girls and includes languages, science labs, clothing and food labs.
