Trunk or Treat on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2:00-4:00 PM

Join us on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2:00-4:00 PM, for a child-friendly Halloween celebration here at Good Shepherd! We will have crafts, games, and a Halloween-themed photo booth available inside for the first hour, followed by trick-or-treating in the parking lot. Volunteers will hand out yummy treats and fun surprises from decorated car trunks. Make sure to stop by the preschool’s trunk, hosted by Mrs. Coxson, who will have a special treat for your child! Be sure to dress your child in their Halloween costume for this event (parents can dress up, too, of course!).

Please note that due to space constraints, this is an event for the Good Shepherd community only (preschool and church member families).

Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, Oct. 6, 4:00 PM

Shared from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church:

We invite the community to join us for a special "Blessing of the Animals" service on Sunday, October 6. The simple service will be at 4:00 pm in the church parking lot. Join us as we thank God for the gifts of companionship and beauty which animals and pets bring to our lives and homes and ask God's blessing on them. And, of course - bring your pet!

You don’t have to be a church member to enjoy this event. Milo and Gus (the pups in the picture) hope to see you there!

Join Us for Music Class and Chapel!

Did you know … that GSLP families are invited to join their students for our weekly music classes and bimonthly chapels?

Check your child’s class calendar to learn when music class and chapel are for your student. Please stop by the office to sign in and receive a visitor badge before joining your child’s class.

Can’t make it to music class? Stop by the Information Center next to the office door to pick up the lyrics from this past week’s music class songs and sing along with your child at home!

Ages & Stages Questionnaires Due Friday, Oct. 4

All preschool families received an Ages & Stages Questionnaire as part of their parent orientation packet.

These questionnaires help us screen our student population for developmental delays and provide teachers with information on how to help your child make progress in the classroom.

Results from the questionnaires will be shared at Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences.

Please drop off your completed questionnaires in the office by Friday, Oct. 4.

Conducting regular developmental screenings is part of Maryland's accreditation and quality-rating standards for preschools and child care centers.
