Abundant Blessings at GSS: Christmas 2022 

The students and families at GSS have been extremely blessed this year with many gifts graciously donated from many individuals and corporations.  First, Jenny and Robb graciously purchased a $100 Walmart gift card for each student to enhance their Christmas gifts.  Then, Mr. and Mrs. Ducote, through a partnership with Le Jouet Toys, provided an individual gift for each student.  The Ducote family has provided gifts for students since the schools opening 21 years ago.  Then, through the generosity of Retif Oil, First Horizon Bank, St. George Episcopal School parents, and many individual donors, each student received a backpack filled with toys, school items, and much more!  Throughout the week, we also had a visit from Santa for pictures and the Room Mothers hosted a Christmas party for each class on Thursday afternoon.  The kids and families at GSS had a wonderful week celebrating Christmas before heading into the holiday break.  See you on January 4th!  Merry Christmas!
