Today marked a special occasion at St. George School as we celebrated the grand opening of our new deck and terraced grassy area. Over the last year, Mrs. Ashley Fabre, Development Director of school and church, has worked diligently to organize the fair and auction to raise proceeds for these campus improvements. It is through her efforts and the help of many volunteers that we have been able to raise enough funds to build these two new spaces. Mr. Martin Hernandez, Business Administrator of the parish, oversaw these two projects for the last 6 months and his attention to detail, knowledge, and organizational skills ensured that they were built to perfection. I am truly grateful for their help in making this vision a reality.  

Our school community would like to extend our gratitude to all of the parents and grandparents who have contributed to these projects by attending the fair and auction. It is through your generosity that we were able to create these beautiful outdoor spaces, where we will be able to live out our theme of growing community. The timing is perfect as we are just one week from celebrating our fair where our church and school will come together as a faith community to share in fellowship and grow community.



Today's ribbon cutting ceremony included a special blessing from Father Yi and then the students took part in celebrating this joyous occasion by walking across the deck on their way to their homeroom class. We look forward to many years of enjoying this space together as a school and church community.

The school calendar may be accessed on the school website and in FACTS Family Portal.

Please note: dates are subject to change. Read Dragon Tales weekly for current information. 

Students can not be checked out after 1:15 on pep rally day, October 7th. If you need your child between 1:15 and 2:45, then your child must be checked out prior to 1:15. All students and teachers in PreK-8th grade will be in the gym from 1:15-2:30. After the pep rally, all students will be dismissed to their assigned dismissal area. 

Students may wear green & white accessories such as socks, bows, bracelets, etc. with their uniform in support of our pep rally. Please note that tomorrow is not an Out-Of-Uniform day. 

Parents are invited to attend the pep rally. There is not a need to sign in at the office.

Cafeteria Visitors

Starting on Tuesday, October 11th, 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

Today, ask yourself; “How did I live today to enhance

rather than diminish creation?”

Every particle of God’s creation wears a little tag that says, 

“Return to sender”.
