Principals of the Day - Kate, Mary, Annalise and Matthew Trahan
Our Principals of the Day had a very exciting day: they led the student body in morning prayer and announcements, monitored the monthly fire drill, took a lunch break, treated students to popsicles, led the school in our afternoon prayer and participated in afternoon bus duty.
Everyone appreciated the Out-Of-Uniform day and the special treat! Thank you, Principals!

DRAGON TALES
9/26/19
Dear St. George Families,
Competition is good in many areas of life where it encourages excellence and efficiency rather than mediocrity or sloppiness. It provides goals to work towards. Competition can even foster unity, a striving towards the same goal such as team members who may compete against one another during practice so they can spur one another on to improve their game and increase the chances of the whole team winning.
"Sport lives by comparison. Although many claim that they compete to find their own limits of performance, this can only be established by comparison with others' performance. To be better than someone else is a basic thought in sport. We need competition in order to judge our own performance. The literal meaning of 'compete' is to strive together ... Christian competition is about striving with all our might but within the rules and etiquette of the game. It is striving to maximize the gifts God has given us in a competitive environment. Will not the God who promised us 'life ... to the full' rejoice when we compete and reach our full potential?"
The challenge for Catholics is to check our motives as we enter a competitive arena. Am I taking part in the competition to raise my position among my peers in order to boost my sense of significance, or am I taking part to grow and reach my full potential in that particular skill, in God's strength, for his glory? Or in the case of "fun" competition (like playing a board game with the family), is my aim to help grow relationships and openness as we battle it out together, rather than to impress people and gain their admiration?
It's helpful to view others, as running mates rather than rivals. Christ, not me, is at the center of all things; significance, satisfaction and security are found through being in right relationship. Others are not the enemy, the obstacle to my "success" in life. It is not a case of survival of the fittest. I do not need to beat them to be blessed.
It will help our children if we teach and model to them from an early age that their identity is secure in knowing they're made by God, and loved by him in Christ Jesus, so they don't need to seek approval or significance by being better than others. They are free to be competitive in certain contexts, if it is for the sake of doing their best, seeking to improve their skills and rejoicing in the abilities God has given them. But a competitive attitude must involve perseverance, endurance and grace rather than irritation, rudeness, anger, arrogance or despondency. Quite a challenge for adults as well as children, I know!
God bless,
Jack Nelson
