8th Grade Girls aaa Champs!
on February 27, 2013 | From monica wingard
Congratulations to coach Harris and the 8th grade girls for winning the CYO AAA Basketball championship yesterday. It was a nail biter to the very
end! We are proud of the tenacity and character the girls showed in coming back from an 11 point deficit. They never gave up and they kept their focus
on the court and in their schoolwork!!! I was also very proud of the sportsmanship and compassion they showed to the St. Luke team during the awards
ceremony.
And a specially thanks to Mr. Harris who made the fans feel as much apart of the team as the girls. On three, one, two three ... ST. GEORGE!
Science Education
on December 2, 2012 | From Monica Wingard
Did you see the big bus on campus?
Last Thursday and Friday, students in grades 4-8 participated in DNA analysis with two doctors and three Lab Specialists from Children’s Hospital in the
Science Adventure Lab. The crew was extremely impressed with the focus, curiosity and academic prowess of our students. I was thrilled to see the
enthusiasm of our scientists. Kudos to the kids and the science teachers! The little ones are already anticipating their turn in the years to come.
This program is 100% funded by supporters of Children's Hospital. Each year dozens of schools apply and only a fraction get to participate. We hit the
jackpot this year, and I have already applied for an application for next year's module in a different strand of biology.
If your child enjoyed this experience, please join me and thanking the crew for choosing St. George’s application for this FREE educational opportunity
for our students. You can email them at adventurelab@seattlechildrens.org. Hopefully, we'll be
blessed again with this experience.
Until then, check out the new biology exhibit at the Pacific Science Center during Christmas vacation. Support curiosity in your child. It's a habit of
successful learners!
WELCOME TO WELL BODY ACADEMY
For the first time in more than ten years, Pacific Science Center has created a new permanent exhibit -- Professor Wellbody's Academy of Health &
Wellness. Scheduled to open December 1, this innovative and highly immersive new exhibit brings guests of all ages into the imaginative world of Professor
Wellbody, demonstrating how personal choices can positively affect our health and well-being. Seven-thousand square feet of hands-on inventions, gadgets,
activities and experiences present health as a life-long process of balancing exercise, diet, proper rest and hygiene.

Meet our new Librarian
on February 27, 2013 | From monica wingard
I'm so excited to be St. George's new Teacher-Librarian. I was a classroom teacher for eleven years, most recently teaching third grade at Holy
Family School in Seattle. I took the last three years off from teaching to stay home with my two young children, ages two and five. While I was a
stay-at-home mom, I completed the School Library Professional Program at the University of Washington and am endorsed in Library Media.
I received my B.A. from E.W.U with majors in Natural Science and ... continue

Year End Celebration
Inclement Weather Policy

In case of inclement weather, St George School will announce any delays or cancellations on the school website via
twitter by 6:30 a.m. This will
be our primary and only official vehicle for communication.
We will also communicate this information to KOMO,
KIRO and KING
media outlets. However, because of changes in their reporting policies, we cannot ensure whether, or when, announcements will appear. In cases of delay
where we have a 10:00am opening, there will be NO Morning Care Program. Students may arrive at 9:45 am, no earlier. King5.com has a section where you
can sign up for text alerts in the event our school is closed or delayed.
Ultimately, our highest priority is the safety of our students and families. Regardless of the official start status of the school, we always defer
to parents in the use of their own best judgment with regard to whether, and when, it is safe for their children to come to school. When weather
conditions dictate that families cannot accommodate the regular school schedule, there will of course not be any negative consequences for individuals
making alternate decisions in the interest of their children's safety.
No Parking Yellow Zones!

Thanks for respecting our No Parking Yellow Zones. In the interest of safety and smooth traffic flow, we ask parents to drive southbound on 13th Ave.
during drop – off and pick up and westbound along Dawson Street on the south end of the school. Even though this pattern may force you to drive a
block or two out of your way, it helps protect everyone's child and gets you where you need to go more smoothly. Having traffic both ways with cars
parked everywhere is a recipe for trouble when transitioning 223 students. Children’s safety comes before convenience every time!
School Traffic

Let's Keep the Traffic Moving Safely!
We are doing our best to keep traffic flowing in the morning and after school. We ask that your drive southbound on 13th when dropping off and
picking up your children. There is NO PARKING at any yellow curb. When picking up, if you don't see our child, please drive around the block so as to
allow parents whose children are ready to be able to pick them up and go. If your child needs assistance getting in and out of the car, we ask that
you park away from the school, outside the yellow zones, and walk to meet your child. We have also had reports of hurried drivers in the neighborhoods
who are speeding due to tardiness. We ask that you respect our local community and maintain safe driving in the neighborhoods at all times. Police
will be monitoring our area to ensure our safety.
