CONGRATULATIONS: Seton School had four participants in the Virginia State Pro-Life Speech Contest: Grant Man-tooth, Marita Ostrich, Meridyth Rosato, and Jodi Vallimont. Grant Mantooth finished first and Marita Ostrich second. This is the third consecutive year that a Seton student has won first place. Grant will be participating in the national contest in July in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We will also invite him to give his speech at the June 12 PRO meeting.
13 REASONS: As a follow-up to the Jupiter Ed message sent by Mrs. O’Herron on the Netflix series, “13 Reasons,” I strongly urge parents to read Mary Beth Bonacci’s column on this topic in the most recent Arlington Catholic Herald. If you don’t receive the Herald at home, copies are available in most parishes or you may read the article at catholicher-ald.com in the opinion section.
