Harvest Festival - Thank you!
A BIG thank you to parent volunteers, teachers, staff and other "dunkees" and EVERYONE that participated in our Annual Harvest Festival! The event was a huge success and together we raised over $4200.00 for the school - far surpassing our goal and last year's tally! The proceeds will be put to great use, supporting enrichment classes and outdoor education!
Plans are already underway for next year's event! New booth ideas, and many more new surprises are already in the works! If you would like to volunteer to be a part of the fun & the planning for next year's event as a Harvest Festival Classroom Lead, please contact the 2011 Harvest Festival Committee (yes, they're already "ALL IN" for next year!)

Tru Scan Fingerprint Services
We appreciated the opportunity to participate in your annual Harvest Festival, what a very fun event. My wife Lynda and I really enjoyed our time there. As you know we provided CHILD IDENTIFICATION CD's to the parents for $5.00 each. These CD's contain fingerprints and photos as well as personal history data and contact information of the child and the parents. The proceeds of those CD's purchased went to the Good Shepherd Lutheran School Parents Association. We raised over $90.00 on Saturday, thanks to those who were able to participate. We would like to extend the offer to those families who were not able to participate by offering the service at our office. So we will collect $5.00 per CD for the Parents Association until the end of the 2010/2011 school year. The money collected will be then provided to the PA to use for any of the great programs they assist in. Just bring your school age child(ren) to our offices at 1620 Grant Ave. # 3 in Novato anytime Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm. We would love to see you and further support the Parents Association.
Thanks again,
Tony and Lynda Pinochi
