Dear SGES Family,

 

Today's Celebration Chapel was a historic event-celebrating the school's first ever State Championship.  The boys' cross country team won the Georgia Independent Schools Association (GISA) Class AA state championship last weekend at Darton College in Albany.  Boys beat region-rival Mills Spring Academy by five points.  Sam Potter finished 4^th overall and was named an all-state runner along with Milz Cain who finished 8^th in the girls' race.  The entire school joined in a celebratory walk under the breezeway full of red and blue streamers with everyone cheering. 

 

Each year, St. John's Lutheran Church cooks and delivers about 5,000 Thanksgiving meals for people in our community.  This year, St. George's Episcopal School will help by donating cans of jellied cranberry sauce. Students may bring cans of jellied cranberry sauce to chapel every morning. The house with the most cans will get extra house points. The collection will end on Friday, November 20.  This project is being sponsored by our Middle School Beta Club.

This Friday, November 13^th, our entire school will enjoy our annual Thanksgiving Feast together.  Students will meet in Toland Gym for a meal and a short program.

 

Also this Friday, 13^th, is our next House Competition.  Students should wear his or her House shirt.

 

As cross country ends, basketball begins.  The junior varsity teams are playing in a pre-season tournament and both teams won their first games last night against LaGrange Academy.

 

Next Wednesday, November 11^th, our one act play team will perform in the region competition.  Our play will be one of nine during the day at the Cultural Arts Center in Carrollton.

 

We hope you enjoy your weekend,

 

Larry Collins
