FROM THE ART ROOM! During art class the CREWS from Mrs. Thompsons 1st grade and Miss Smiths K-1st grade created some very colorful snails. The students listened to a story about snails and talked about the shape of a snail shell. They were shown how to draw a spiral and how to make a snail living in its 'environment.' The students used construction paper, sharpies and watercolor paint to create these beautiful pieces!

We want to remind you that you can fill out a Free & Reduced Meals application at anytime. This program helps us feed our community, costs St. George MSU nothing, and if the percentage of our students who qualify for free or reduced meals exceeds the state average then out school could receive about $150,000 in additional state subsidy. If our percentage falls below the state average then we receive no state subsidy for economically disadvantaged students. You can fill out an application online at https://lunchapplication.com or access a paper copy at https://5il.co/i8la
