Saint George’s School will not be offering a Summer Program for 2021 due to the ongoing challenges and evolving guidance regarding COVID-19.  During the summer, there is reduced staffing on campus.  With the uncertainty of COVID activity, inherent risks and mitigation responsibilities pose challenges in meeting all safety requirements for the school and program participants.  We look forward to future summers when we can once again offer an enriching, fun-filled program.  Thank you for your understanding.  

Upper School Head Francesca Mulazzi contributed a short article to "Differences That Make A Difference: Stories and Strategies To Inspire Women Leaders" -- a collection of articles on the Educational Collaborative for International Schools website.  You can read her piece, titled "Mindful Leadership: A Learning Journey".

On the morning of May 20th, the Lower School gathered to unveil the new name for the road through campus.  It honors two beloved, retiring educators -- Kathy Johnson, Head of Lower School and former SGS Kindergarten teacher, and Judy Hafso, Lower School Music teacher.  The Hochheimer Family bought the naming rights at the SGS Gala Auction.  A group of 13-year seniors also were present to speak about how each of these great ladies was instrumental in their early education.  See a Photo Gallery and a 12-minute Video of the Dedication Ceremony.  A wonderful tribute to them both!

The Class of 2021 dedicated their yearbook to Keith Stecher '77, a beloved member of the SGS Facilities Crew since well before these seniors were born!  Senior Cambrie Rickard wrote the dedication, which she read to the Upper School on May 20 and presented a yearbook to Keith.  See a Short Video of her presentation and read her Full Dedication. 

Saint George's Upper School students collected money at a North Spokane intersection for JOYA's Penny Drive on Saturday, May 22.  They gathered a whopping $5,916 from motorists, including over 300 lbs. of coins!  The funds will be added to over $1000 raised at the SGS campus penny drive to provide services for local preschool children with learning or physical disabilities.  Overall, JOYA raised over $46,000 that day from motorists and another $11,000 from a telethon.  See a Photo Gallery of Dragons collecting funds to help local kids in need!

The SGS Robotics teams (FRC and FTC) gathered for an end of the season barbeque.  See a Photo Gallery, including of them honoring advisors Rick DeFord, Judi Morgan, and Clive Luiten for their mentoring over the years.

For the recent 2021 Joya Penny Drive, Saint George's students did a great job of donating to this local non-profit that provides services to young children with developmental needs.  Congratulations to the 3rd grade, 8th grade, and 9th grade who had the highest donations per student for their divisions.  The 3rd graders were tops in the school, giving an average of $17.38 each!  Joya received $1,089.01 from SGS -- a welcome gift after schools were unable to do the Penny Drive last spring.  Thank you to everyone who supported the Penny Drive!
