Mrs. Schebaum's Principal Epistle

St. George School is a faith-based community which fosters Catholic values while empowering students with strong academics.

Have your child write a letter to the person they admire the most and why. Then challenge them to call that person and read the letter to them. If they can't work up the courage to, then help your child by reading it for them or send it in the mail. Keep in mind it was the people who made personal contact with something that left the experiment happiest.

Take it a step farther...you write a letter to someone you admire as well!
