Dragon Tales Weekly Newsletter
August 29, 2019
Dear St. George Families,
All children are blessed. Ours are especially blessed. To have wonderful parents, loving
families, supportive friends, and caring teachers is the very best thing that we can provide
our children.
None of our children should ever feel alone, unloved, desperate. It is our job, adults in
children's lives, to pay attention to their needs, both emotional and physical. We need to
be present to our children so they feel we are connecting with them. Children need to
know that we are listening and we hear what they are saying. As Catholics it is important
that we help our students learn their faith as well as their academics so they can become
better leaders of tomorrow.
It is my privilege to share in the lives of your children. In them I see the wonderful
innocence of youth. They are filled with hope and joy. I am humbled by the families at
St. George. You continue to be supportive of your children's learning, give many hours
for the benefit of our school, provide financial support, and participate in our parish and
community service projects. You work, run errands, have chores, and yet you are still
here with smiles giving encouragement to your children, teachers and staff.
Our children are very blessed. And so are all of us to live in our St. George faith
community. Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend.
God Bless,
Jack Nelson

In honor and support of SGS Dragon alumnus and St. Jude patient, Emmy Lou Fabre, St. George School is dedicating the September Stewardship Project to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Help us "sock it to childhood cancer" by donating to St. Jude. Students who donate will sign the "sock" poster in their homeroom class to show their support for St. Jude.
On Thursday, September 12th, students who donated to St. Jude may wear any socks and
tennis shoes and participate in a mini St. Jude Walk in the school gym from 7:20am - 7:40am. Upon arrival on campus, students who donated and wish to join the mini walk should report to the gym.
