January Newsletter
Happy New Year, Saint George Families!
We hope you had a fantastic time with family and friends over our break! May this new year bring you numerous blessings and much happiness!
Registration is now open for the 2019-2020 school year! Our early bird rate special ends February 1st, so don't delay! Also, be sure to apply for financial aid via FACTS. Check out our website for more financial aid information.
Our Box Top War has begun! Remember, the class with the most Box Tops collected at the end of the month will receive a Pizza Lunch and the student who collects the MOST Box Tops will receive a gift card for their extraordinary efforts! So, start clipping those Box Tops and send them in with your student today! (Please make sure your student's entry is clearly marked with his or her name and grade)
On January 7, 2019, courtesy of Councilman Bobby Henon's office, Saint George School's 5th-8th graders will have the opportunity to participate in a CPR training class right here at school! This is all in an effort to equip our students with life-saving knowledge and skills, including how to react during and emergency.
Catholic Schools Week is also coming up at the end of the month. This year's theme is Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed. The teachers and I are working hard to ensure a lot of fun, inspiring, and educational activities occur to engage students in learning! We already have a Caribbean Music Assembly scheduled during CSW and a more detailed list of events will be available soon.
