Dear St. George Families,
This coming weekend is our annual St. George Fair. By all measures this event will be a huge success. Our fair is truly a labor of love; hundreds upon hundreds of hours go into the preparation of this truly extraordinary annual event. Even though our fair takes place on one weekend in the fall it is truly an event that takes twelve months to plan and execute.
We are truly blessed here at St. George to have many people who are willing to share their many talents and time unendingly to make our school and parish a great place. Words alone cannot convey my gratitude and thanks to Scott Johnson for chairing the fair steering committee. The dedication and enthusiasm of all members of the steering committee this past year was incredible.
Scott, and the steering committee were our leaders, and I know that they could not have achieved their goal of putting on a terrific fair without a great deal of help and support. Many thanks and blessings go out to all of our school and parish families that have given freely of their time, talent and treasure these past months. It is because of your love and support that we can sustain the momentum that we have here at St. George.
Our Fair will benefit students of St. George for many years to come. Because of our love for our children and dedication to excellence, our fair is important to the continued success of St. George School. Next year's fair will be here before you know it. I would like to invite everyone to "jump in with both feet" and be a part of the fair, you won't regret it!
God Bless,
Jack Nelson
