SPECIAL THANKS:

Congratulations to all the students who performed in this year's outstanding Christmas programs.  You were marvelous and are an incredibly talented group of individuals.  Of course, this evening would not have been possible without the unbelievable work and dedication of Gretchen Simon, Nick Knoles, Janet Hanrahan, and Wayne Colyer.  Thank you so much for the love you pour into your work.  You are making a tremendous impact on the young children's lives here at GSLS.

Thank you,

SAFETY CONCERN

Traffic is a huge concern at Good Shepherd, and we have had a few close calls at the Lynwood campus already this school year.  For the safety of our students, staff, and school families it is extremely important that all drivers observe the 5 miles per hour speed limit at all times while entering, driving through, and leaving the campus.

Middle School Permit Passes

As many of you are aware the Novato City Council voted on November 30 to approve our Middle School use permit application which allows us to continue to operate Good Shepherd Middle School at the PCN campus. This is a great accomplishment and paramount to the success of our program.  We want to thank all of the parents, students, church members, and community members who attended in support of our school and especially thank the Middle School Development Committee particularly Linda Crivello, Sandra Dolan, Dorea El-Sayed, Bill Kleinecke, Ariel Mink, and Dick Draeger for their tireless efforts on this project.  We could not have succeeded without your support.  We will evaluate our options and continue to work with our neighbors as we move forward.

Thank you,
