Dear St. George Families,
Â
In Faith Families, the students had a lesson on protecting our earth. We discussed the damage and health risks pesticides have on plants, water, air and us. The children looked at other ways to prevent pesky garden bugs by using alternatives to pesticides like planting marigolds around gardens. Each child planted his/her own marigold seeds to grow and use as a bug repellant in home gardens. We are excited to see pictures of thriving marigolds!
Â
Thank you to the 37 pizza eating families who took part in the Tutta Bella fundraiser for St. George. We raised $654.03 for our school! Look for our next EasyAsPieSaintGeorge pizza week next year.
