“Sock It to Childhood Cancer” Stewardship Project

Monday, September 8 – Wednesday, September 17



September is childhood cancer awareness month. Our stewardship project for September will focus on developing compassion for those who are ill, especially children who receive treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

We walk and raise funds in loving memory of Alexander Himpler who received cancer treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. 

Why we choose to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital:

• St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer.
• No family ever receives a bill from St. Jude – not for treatment, travel, housing, or food. They want the family to focus on the health of the child.
• Currently over 900 active patients from Louisiana are under the care of St. Jude. The impact of St. Jude locally in Baton Rouge is felt throughout the community. St. Jude has an affiliate clinic in Baton Rouge that helps locally treat patients.

St. George students are invited to donate $1.00 or more to our September Service Project. On Wednesday, September 17, we will host a St. Jude Walk in the gym from 7:20 – 7:40 am. Students are welcome to wear silly socks to help us “sock it to childhood cancer".

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, 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 posted in Dragon Tales 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.

Lunch price - $ 6.30 (check only) - No lunch charges for parents that forgot their checks at home.

Thank you.

Please note that according to the LA. School Food Service Policy Guidance Manual, outside restaurant food and soft drinks are not allowed in the school cafeteria. Your compliance is appreciated and necessary.
