Michael Jordan ’00 saves a Manassas family from fire

Here’s a great gift for a child’s Christmas, and a portion of the proceeds from each purchase will go to the Seton School Supporting Organization.

 

Here’s the what the book is about:  Christmastime is always magic, but this year seven-year-old Eddie is determined to put his own special touch on the holiday. He is given the task of setting up the manger scene at his church, and wants to add something to the traditional stable and figures that will reflect the joy he’s feeling. But what should it be? Eddie’s friends offer suggestions from their own customs and cultures, and the result is a nativity display like no other! Candy Canes in Bethlehem reminds us that the celebration of Christmas is as colorful and boundless as the imagination of a child.

For the first time in its 9 year run, an all alumni team won the Col. P Memorial Golf Tournament! Held at Bristow Manor Golf Club on Tuesday, October 6, 2009, the Tournament boasted 102 golfers on a beautiful fall day. 

At the end of 18 holes, two teams both scored 13 under par.  Ray Kenna (Seton parent and SSSO board member) and his foursome have been in a tie with the Daniel brothers foursome previously and won, but this year the tiebreaker went to the Daniel’s.  Also making good showings were: the Seton Golf team (Neil Blanchard, John Franke, Pat Kenna, and Nick Kenna) with a score of 12 under; the Uribe Team and the Remington/Rowzie/Olszewski/Murphy team who both scored 11 under. 

There were many alumni/teachers (present and former) in attendance:  Joe Angsten, Tony Catabui, Jake Cooley, Jake Daniel, Joey Daniel, Josh Daniel, Phil Daniel, Justin Grimberg, Steve Jones, Joe Lalli, Dan Maher, Michael McGrath, Mike Olszewski, Dick Pennefather, Lalo Uribe, Tonio Uribe, Dan Vander Woude, and Steve Vander Woude.  Moreover, “Closest to the pin” was won by husband of alumnus Michaela (Gray) Grinder!!

Funds from the golf tournament go towards uniforms, sports equipment, other athletic costs and the Col. P. Memorial Scholarship awarded to a senior boy and girl in the spring.
