As an educator, one of the greatest reward is seeing the students learn and grow. This growth can occur academically, spiritually, emotionally, and physically and this was evident in so many ways this week at St. George.
On last Friday, two 2nd graders made an appointment to meet with me to present their “idea” to me. These 2nd graders came to my office with a flier advertising the new organization they wanted to start called “Helping Hands. After hearing their introduction (which they were very well prepared for) I asked them, “What is your vision or goal for this organization.” They proudly answered and I quote, “To inspire others to help the school community be nice.” WOW! What a wonderful example of leadership, initiative, and spreading gospel values.
On Wednesday, I had “Walk Around Wednesday”. This is a day when I wear casual clothes (the staff gets out-of-uniform too) and I visit every classroom to see what our teachers are teaching, and our students are learning. I saw our PreK students determining which words rhyme, 1st grade was practicing repeated addition, 3rd grade was describing dependent and independent clauses, 5th grade was finding the theme of short stories, and Middle School was in activity classes building complex machines, performing service work, reading novels, discussing their family history, writing proposals for saving endangered species, and much more.
Thursday, I toured 13 new substitutes around campus and was filled with joy as I showed them what St. George was all about. They learned about our routines and procedures not only for class instruction but also safety. I also met with two separate groups of middle schoolers who wanted to present their ideas to me about the school uniform and a new prayer for morning assembly.
I could not be prouder of our students, our teachers, and all that St. George has to offer.

Call for Door Prizes for Teacher Appreciation Week
The Home and School Special Events Committee is accepting donations to make “Swag Bags” for our teachers to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Donated door prizes are usually given during the annual sit-down luncheon. Although we are not sure at this time if we will be able to have the luncheon, we will still collect prizes to make “Swag Bags” for each teacher to let them know how much we appreciate them.
If you would like to donate an item (nothing is too big or to small), please send items to the office with your name on it by Friday, February 11th. You may contact Nicole Muller 985-960-6127 or Marcy Maurer 225-439-4139 with any questions.
All individuals and businesses will be recognized for their donation in Dragon Tales. Thank you in advance for all your love and support for our teachers.
