Partners in the Gospel Input Session
We want to hear from you! As part of Partners in the Gospel, the proposed list of parish families will be released by the Archdiocese of Seattle next weekend. We invite you to join us for an input session on
Saturday, September 30 at 9:30am at St. George to discern our proposed parish family, discuss and provide feedback. After an overview of Partners, the timeline and the process, we will share in small groups. Doors open at 9:00 for a light breakfast. Our feedback will be sent back to the Archdiocese so they can continue to discern and adjust as needed. For more information, contact Jennifer at jibach@stedwardparish.net.
October HOT LUNCH Orders were due today!
The 8th grade is hosting a pizza Friday next week for the half day, Oct 6th. Forms were passed out to the kids this week. See attached order form. Extended Care kids will check in FIRST before they get pizza. Students who are ordering pizza before they go home, must have their parents supervise them in the cafeteria. Do not park in a yellow zone if you are escorting your child to pizza!
Wed. Oct. 4th at 7:55 AM we will have a Blessing of the Pets in honor of the Feast of St. Francis. Families are invited to bring their leashed or caged pets to the flag pole for a special prayer and blessing from Fr. Scott and then we ask that all pets go home afterwards.

Application window opens

Application deadline for both elementary and secondary schools NOTE: Submitting the application online is just the first step. All applicants must also provide supporting documentation, like tax forms and W-2’s. Applications can only be verified and processed once the necessary documentation is received by FACTS. It takes FACTS about 14 business days to process application once paperwork is received, so the sooner it’s submitted, the better. This is the deadline for both submitting the application and submitting documentation. Exceptions won’t be made.
