Dear St. George Families,
Thank you for your continued support of St. George Catholic School, which has served the community for over 60 years.
In light of the rapid changes occurring in the world and in education, now is the ideal time for us to craft a renewed vision for our school's future that identifies new ways to grow and advance as a learning organization focused on offering an unparalleled educational experience.
We're pleased to announce that the we are launching a strategic planning process in conjunction with the diocesan initiative, with the expectation that the final plan will be shared later in the spring of 2019. This will become the blueprint to communicate our story and guide leadership decisions for the next three years.
St. George is planning for a bright future by creating our strategic plan. While not a crystal ball, our strategic plan will be based on who we are: uniquely Catholic and spiritually strong - and who we are becoming - an educational institution that educates the whole child recognizing each students unique gifts, needs and challenges.
To guide us on this journey, the diocese contracted with the experts from School Growth, LLC because of their extensive experience and data-driven methodology. They have a successful track record and a wealth of wisdom from leading schools through this critical process, and we look forward to walking this path with their guidance.
Over the next few months we'll share more details about the schedule and opportunities (i.e., surveys, focus groups, etc.) to connect with this planning effort. We not only welcome your input, we're counting on it.
Your commitment to Catholic education is truly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your enthusiastic and thoughtful participation in helping shape the future for St. George Catholic School.
Blessings,
Fr. Mike Schatzle Mr. Jack Nelson Mr. Paul Wiggins
Pastor Principal Advisory Board Chair

NUT ALLERGY STATEMENT
REGARDING SNACKS BROUGHT TO SCHOOL
VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!
- All food items brought to school for birthdays (PreK and K only), gold slip parties, holiday parties, retreats, etc. must be store bought and must contain a label. The items must be nut free, including but not limited to peanuts and tree nuts (almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, chestnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, pinenuts and walnuts).
- If a product label says the food item contains, may contain, is produced in a facility that contains or is manufactured on equipment that processes peanuts and or tree nuts, this item is unacceptable.
- Home prepared food items are not allowed.
- Please read labels and plan accordingly when choosing snacks to bring to school.
We will no longer be able to serve donuts from Thee Heavenly Donut. In the past they would supply a label stating that they were nut free. They will no longer be able to do so as they serve tree nuts. It is against our policy to serve any food without a label or items that are made in a facility that contains nuts. If you need suggestions on what to serve, please talk with your teacher or the nurses. Thank you with helping to keep all of our children safe.

CATHOLICISM
Please come and continue learning about the PIVOTAL PLAYERS of our Church. We will meet on Sunday, January 13th and 27th in the Parish office to learn about St. Augustine.
ST. AUGUSTINE : The Teacher
Perhaps the premier example of how faith in Christ changed a person is the fourth century bishop, Saint Augustine. Augustine's narrative of personal transformation provides a template for life in Christ that still captivates today. In an age when people insist upon sharp demarcations between spirituality and religion, or between Christ and the Church, St. Augustine provides a unifying way forward. We do not have to choose one or the other, but are chosen by Christ for his Church.
