The gala is a wonderful chance to come together as a community, enjoy a fun evening with friends, and support our beloved school at the same time. And, since the gala is organized by the Good Shepherd Foundation—a nonprofit organization led by parent volunteers—all proceeds will support our teachers, enhance school facilities, and ensure that Good Shepherd remains a vibrant learning environment as we embark on its next century. Tickets are required, so be sure to purchase yours by April 1 and join us in honoring our school’s rich history and bright future! Please also consider sponsoring the gala, or purchasing a teacher ticket so that all teachers and staff can attend at no cost to themselves.

As part of our ongoing safety and wellness initiatives, we would like to invite all parents to join us for a screening of Screenagers Under the Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs and Alcohol in the Digital Age. This documentary explores how our tech revolution has impacted teens’ views and behaviors around alcohol, vaping, cannabis and other substances, and what parents, schools, and teens can do to support healthy decision making around these safety and health threats. Two volunteer hours will be granted to each family in attendance. Tuesday, January 23, 5:30pm Parish Center All parents welcome. From one of our resident parent experts: As a pediatric PA and mom, I think this movie has a lot of valuable information that would benefit parents with middle schoolers and high schoolers. All to help foster conversations with our kids about making healthy and safe choices regarding vaping, alcohol, drugs, and other addictive behaviors. The movie is evidence based and makes these difficult topics approachable. Also great for parents with younger children to store in their toolbox for future family discussions. We hope you all can join us for a viewing of Screenagers Under the Influence and discussion after. Kate Michalek PA-C Childrens Hospital Colorado

It’s the third week of Advent! Did you know? The word “Advent” comes from Latin and means “to come.” After many long years of waiting for the Messiah, Jesus came at a specific time and place. We celebrate the Incarnation and remember his birth each year at Christmas. We know that, during Advent, we look forward with hope to when Jesus will come again at the end of time to create a new heaven and a new earth. But we also recognize that Jesus comes to us in many ways right now. He is near to us when we pray. We can ask him to help us see him in the people around us. We can contemplate the beauty of his creation to see reflections of his goodness in the world around us. Most importantly, we encounter him in the most special way when we experience his Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist. Yesterday, today, and forever, Jesus—our Emmanuel—is with us. This Advent, may the preparation and waiting stretch our hearts open wide to welcome him into our lives!

For this competition, the students were given parts and pieces of metal, wood and plastic, and needed to use them to design their robot. Our team took 5th place in driving and were beaten by 4 high schools, but we did beat other middle and high schools! Good Shepherd took first place in Middle School Engineering notebook, and we won the Founders Award for most creative design! GO GRIZZLIES 🐻

What a fun day with the Pre-K classes! Fr. Fox taught the Pre-K classes what each item is used for in the Mass. He showed the Pre-K students around the sacristy and even showed them the beautiful windows in our beautiful church.

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, STAFF AND FAMILIES! GRATEFUL FOR OUR GOOD SHEPHERD COMMUNITY!!

It’s Pjs Day at Pre-School & Pre-K!
