Reverse Trick-or-Treating at Springmoor

The 4s and TK classes will be visiting Springmoor on October 27. They will be dressed in their Halloween costumes and take fall-themed treat bags to give to the residents. That's why it's reversed! They are making the treats for their bags this week.

Halloween Party

Send your child to school in their Halloween costume over their regular clothes on Monday, October 30 . There will be a class picture opportunity soon after drop off so wait outside the main entrance. The children will parade from the school to the gym.

Be sure to label costumes with a name and send a bag for costumes when we return to the classrooms.

Scholastic Book Fair Coming Soon! November 6 - 9

The book fair is a great place to pick up some gifts for Christmas while supporting our preschool. The points earned at the book fair are used to acquire Bibles to give to our graduates in May. The book fair will be open before and after school on Monday through Thursday.

On November 9 from 6 - 8pm , you are invited to eat pizza in pajamas! Then there will be a story time! Let us know if you are coming so we have enough pizza. Grandparents or special friends and relatives are invited to attend. Shop at the book fair during story time.

Please consider signing up to help with the book fair this year. Watch for a sign-up genius coming soon.

The mission of GSLP is to provide a Christ-centered early childhood preschool through faith-based education and service in a nurturing inclusive environment.

The Educational Philosophy of Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool

The focus of the preschool is to meet children’s needs and stimulate learning in these developmental areas: *Physical *Emotional/ Social *Spiritual *Cognitive *Music/Art

To nurture these areas the Preschool’s objectives are to:

Integrate Christian faith formation throughout the curriculum.
Develop a cooperative/supportive relationship between the child, the family and the preschool.
Provide developmentally appropriate activities.
Teach children about their relationship with God and all people in the world.
Provide tools for assessment of students’ progress.

Our teachers relate education to the child’s understanding about God and Christian life so that the spiritual and developmental aspects of the curriculum become a foundation for a lifelong faith.
