George School's Family Update
February 15, 2019
Time Flies When We Are Having Fun! It is hard to believe that Wednesday was our 100th day of School already! Followed up by Valentine's Day Celebrations! Thank you to our class parents and PSO for helping with our activities and celebrations! Enjoy your Long Weekend!
Please take note of our Fun and Healthy February Notices and Activities!
February marks American Heart Month. This month-long recognition serves as a reminder to all of us about the importance of healthy living through exercise and healthy food choices for all ages. Be a part of the Healthy for Good is a revolutionary movement to inspire everyone to create lasting change in their health and lifestyle, one small step at a time. The approach is simple: Eat smart. Add color. Move more. Be well.
George School students are preparing for Jump Rope for Heart 2/25, 2/26 and 2/28. Be part of the fun!! See details below!
