Collecting BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION, sponsored by General Mills, is a great way to add much-appreciated funds to the Music & Creative Dramatics program! "Thank you" to all who collected box tops in the fall semester. Each box top was worth 10 cents for a total of $224.60!
Please clip and save box tops for the spring semester! The front office has special sheets for attaching the box tops, for easy organization.
Spring semester box tops must be turned in by March 1. A check for spring earnings will be sent to EDS in May.

Life Skills facilitators
If you are not familiar with this program it is a really awesome opportunity that connects our Upper School students with the Primary students. The group of students listed below have been through training to facilitate a curriculum to not only our 4th grade classroom, but Good Shepherd 4th graders as well. The curriculum is designed to focus on life skills (self-esteem, positive decision-making, coping with stress, and handling conflict in positive ways) and the 4th graders love having the Upper School students in to teach them.
Participating Upper School Students:
Danielle Morris
Emily Shockley
Zoe Renschler
Luke Alcock
Brittony Rodgers
Jessica Turner
Sarah Ballard
Peyton Schultheis
Maya Mchedlishvili
