Dear Parents, Friends and Parishioners,

Thank you for the opportunity to experience the diversity, excitement, and growth of the  St. George community for the past eight years. Over the years with you, I have seen
many changes here. Technology upgrades, Blue Ribbon Status, New Pre-K program,
these and many more are all strong components of the St. George picture. I am proud to
have participated in the process of getting us where we are today. St. George is a special
place that I will cherish forever. However, it is time to share this special place with a
new leader. I have made the difficult decision that this will be my last year as the
principal of St. George School. I have accepted the position of President of St. Michael
High School. I am confident that with all the positive things happening at St. George, that  the position of principal will attract many quality candidates.

I have been both honored and privileged to serve you, your children and our community  as principal. You have many gifts at St. George that I encourage you to treasure. Your  teachers and staff are dedicated, loving individuals who have a working relationship that  is unparalleled in any school. Administrators and substitute teachers alike are constantly  amazed at the positive and supportive working relationships of our staff members. Those  relationships trickle down and support the positive school climate at St. George. The  service programs woven into the religion and academic curriculum give our students  solid footing with which to step into the world. I am proud to have been a part of these  programs.
There is still much to do, both before and after June. I am committed to serve you
proudly until my last day as your principal. I encourage you to continue your
involvement in activities, communication, and community building at St. George School.
I will carry my memories of St. George with me forever. I will keep all of you in my
prayers and ask you to keep me in yours.

God bless,
Jack Nelson
