Schools Week was full of exciting events which included dress-up days, over
450 kids in chapel at Good Shepherd, Jump Rope for Heart/Hoops, Grandparent’s/Special Person’s Day, and our

In the story with Mary we learn that Jesus forgave her past sins, saw her repentant heart, her demonstration of love from a thankful heart and gave her new life! He does the same for us. How can we thank Him with our lives?
Habitats around the world
were part of our science theme this week. We discussed the ocean, desert,
mountain, prairie and rain forest briefly. We continue discovering more animals
that live in the
As we move into Holy Week take time to worship the Lord with your family.
