Day School Happenings

Do you have gently used children's books or clothes? To help our families, there is a place in the Day School hallway where parents can leave or take gently used children's items. So, if you or your kids are cleaning out their children's closets and looking for a place to send those hand-me downs, we are happy to take them. We are also in search of children's books. A love of reading begins at home!


Did you know? Priest Becky has started a new Bible Story Time with the kids at Good Shepherd Day School, and will be traveling from classroom to classroom on Wednesday mornings.
