News for the Week

January 11, 2024

Dear St. George Families,

Well, snowmageddon didn’t happen. Sorry, Kids

There is no school Mass tomorrow due to priest availability. The students will be participating in a Faith Family activity lead by our 8th graders. They will focus conversations on building an inclusive community at St. George and beyond. Students will identify ways they can embrace all people where they are at and bring the light of Christ’s love to all.

February Hot Lunch menu went out today (and is also attached here)! Be sure to get your orders in on time!

Our 4-8th grade students have wrapped up their coding classes for the fall semester. Grade K-3 start coding classes on January 23rd. Each week, these students will have a 45-minute lesson on the basics of coding. These lessons are only available due to the powerful fundraising of our parent community during the Jogathon and auction.

Congratulations to our 4th graders. They are the proud parents of 200 salmon eggs in our lobby fish tank. Stop by and see if you can distinguish the eggs from the rocks!

Speaking of auction… it is time to rally the Dragon family in support of our largest fundraiser and adult FUN raiser of the year. Spread the word to family, friends and alumni!

From the Parish: Over vacation all our families who receive in-parish tuition rate should have received a Stewardship letter from Father Scott clarifying his expectation of those families who have stated that they are practicing Catholics at one of our Rainbow parishes. Any questions about registration, mass attendance and tithing should be made directly with the respective parish secretaries.  They are the people in consultation with Fr. Scott who sign off on in-parish status.

Preschool-7th Grade families Mandatory State of the School Address on Thursday, Feb. 8th at 6:30 PM in the school hall.

We review school events, finances and re-registration for next year.  Free childcare will be available for those who need it. Re-registration will run Feb. 8 - Feb 29th. On March 1, we will invite new families on our wait list to register if spaces are available. All families must be current with their 2023-24 tuition and Extended Care fees in order to secure their child’s seat.
