This week we received the new library books that were purchased from the rewards and proceeds of our book fair. St. George sold 1,016 items and our school reward from these sales was $6,775.38 and we earned $3,237.69 Scholastic Dollars. Students were able to browse the new books and get excited about all the new choices. Thanks to our librarian, Jenny Taylor, and the many volunteers that helped to plan and manage this wonderful event.

Students may wear fall / festive Out-Of-Uniform with accessories on Monday, October 31. No masks. Anything that is distracting from instruction should be removed while in class but can be worn outside. Happy Halloween!

The school calendar is subject to change and may also be accessed on the school website and in FACTS Family Portal.

Volunteers are needed to assist during Grandparent's Day. Please sign up here.

Cafeteria Visitors

The K-8th cafeteria will be open to lunch visitors on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays of regular schedule school days. The PreK cafeteria will begin welcoming visitors at a later date, when the PreK students are completely adjusted to their school routines and developmentally prepared to handle visitors coming and going. We are excited to extend this invitation to our school parents, but due to limited space, the following guidelines must be adhered to so we can accommodate all parents who wish to eat lunch in the cafeteria.

Parents who wish to eat lunch with their child must:

• Sign up on the Sign-Up Genius posted in Dragon Tales before Monday at 12:00 noon. 
• Only those parents who have signed up are allowed to visit in the cafeteria.
• Parents are allowed to join their child in the cafeteria once per quarter.  
• When signing up, include whether you will purchase a plate lunch from the cafeteria or bring something from home so the cafeteria can plan accordingly. 
• If you are not purchasing a cafeteria lunch and are bringing food into the cafeteria, the Child Nutrition Program does not allow food that is wrapped or marked with commercial/fast food labels in the cafeteria.  
• For safety reasons, siblings are not allowed.
• Because this is a special time for parents to be with their child, parents and their child will eat together at the designated visitors’ tables/spaces. Other students must stay in their regular seat assignments.
• Upon arrival, parents should sign in at the school office and receive a visitors pass. Parents should walk directly to the cafeteria when their child’s lunch time begins. When lunch is over, parents should walk directly to the office and sign out.
• Parents should not follow students to the classroom or activities after lunch.
• For the privacy and safety of students, cell phones are not allowed to be used on campus for personal reasons. You can take a picture with your child, but it must be outside or without other students in the background. Please enjoy this cell-phone free time with your child. 

We hope you enjoy this time together with your child and appreciate your cooperation and willingness to follow the guidelines above.

Reflecting on Creation



In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the hills are His also; the sea is His, for he make it; and His hands formed the dry land. Ps 95:4-5 “….The ideal is…..to discover God in all things.” LS ..223
