For our November Stewardship Project, our students will prepare Thanksgiving baskets for the needy. It is at this time that we consciously reflect and give thanks for the many blessings God has bestowed on us. We will offer a special prayer over items at our mass on Friday, November 17, 2023.

Students are asked to bring an assigned food item and $1.00 (suggested amount – no coins, please) to purchase a turkey or chicken to fill a basket. Homeroom teachers have assigned a food item to each student to get a balanced food basket from each class. Food assignment letters will be sent home with students on Monday, November 6^th. 

These food baskets are distributed by the St. George Chapter of the St. Vincent de Paul Society to needy families residing in St. George Parish. Each year, we provide a basket for approximately 40 families. 

Through this service project we have an excellent opportunity to teach and reinforce the spirit of generosity. You may wish to consider the following:

1.   Have your child work at some “little job” around the house to earn the cost of the contribution.

2.   Encourage your child to give from his/her savings.

Thank you for your generous cooperation as we share our gifts with those less fortunate.

The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry is currently running low on canned meat (chicken, spam, Vienna sausage), tuna, ravioli and spaghetti, mac and cheese, canned fruit, peanut butter, and jelly.

Please consider donating an extra food item.

We are excited to extend this invitation to our school parents, but due to limited space, only one parent visitor can attend per quarter and 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 before Monday at 12:00 noon.
• Only those parents who have signed up are allowed to visit the cafeteria.
• Due to space, one parent visitor is allowed per quarter. Please do not sign up for more than one visit per quarter as this blocks other parents from signing up.
• 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.
