Early Literacy Resources
Our youngest students are learning to read. Watching this happen is magical! The Science of Reading tells us that children learn best through systematic and explicit instruction and by having access to decodable texts where they can practice reading spelling patterns. Support our earliest readers for years to come by donating the purchase of “decodable texts” for our emerging readers!

We have a beautiful campus, an enchanted forest, fields, basketball courts, and endless places to explore. Not only do students play outdoors daily, but they also participate in regular nature walks. Our Nature Walk package includes watercolors, journals, field guides, binoculars, nets, and baskets.

Set of feast day icons
Students gather each morning for assembly. We sing, pray, share saints’ lives, recite poetry, and celebrate feast days together by saying special prayers and learning hymns. Iconography is an important teaching tool that allows us to deepen our worship. Support Saint George Classical Academy by purchasing a complete set of twelve feast day icons.

Theater Hands
This spring, our students will perform Pinocchio. We need your help procuring and making costumes. We also need volunteer hands to support set creation and rehearsals. A volunteer must be available Wednesdays and Fridays from 12:30- 1:30 pm during January, February, and March. Additional time may be required outside of rehearsals to help prepare costumes.
Donation: Your time and the treasure required to make this happen! (Estimated at 40 hours of time and $250 for costumes and materials).
Hospitality
Offering hospitality is one of the basic tenets of Christianity, and it is important for us to show hospitality to our many visitors. Support this package, which includes a coffee maker, hot water heater, coffee, tea, mugs, and cookies.

Tea Time Package
Students enjoy a weekly tea time with Mrs. Joyce. We read together, discuss manners, and enjoy conversation while sipping tea. Support this beautiful tradition we are building that the students look forward to! A year’s supply of cookies, tea, honey, and “fancy” napkins.

Piano
We are incredibly grateful to have music woven throughout everything we do, from morning assembly to music classes for all children, including our Early Learners. We have been borrowing a piano, and the school would greatly benefit from owning our own electric piano that can be transported between spaces.
