PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holidays, let us take some time to share with each other what we are truly thankful for and spread a spirit of gratitude.

I am thankful for:

The many blessings I receive each day from the students at St. George, from their smiles and hugs to their growing faith and their daily acts of kindness.
The staff at St. George, for their continued commitment to meeting the needs of each individual student, their unending gift of time, and their willingness to always learn and grow in their profession.
The parents who support the mission of St. George by raising faithful children and who are always willing to help in any way possible. You are a beacon of light for your school community and the world.

Prayers and thanksgiving for you and your family during the Thanksgiving Season!

Mrs. Fontenot
