Our 6th and 7th graders spent some in time in Spanish class last week creating bilingual bulletin boards to celebrate our graduating 8th graders! As with every 8th grade class, this group is looked up to by their younger classmates and will be so very missed. There is so much excitement and appreciation surrounding this class as they prepare for their next chapter. We are incredibly proud of who they are, the example they have set for younger students, and all that lies ahead for them! ❤

Our 5th graders received a very warm welcome this morning at middle school! Today is B.L.A.S.T. (Bridges Linking All Students Together), a yearly tradition at Good Shepherd. Planned by the 8th graders, this is a day of team building, a welcome for the new middle schoolers and the start to the closing chapter for our graduating class. The 8th grade brought ALL the energy to drop off this morning, making our new middle school students feel welcome and excited for middle school!

Last night we celebrated the incredible creativity, talent, and hard work of our students at Art & Music Night! Families enjoyed an evening filled with K–8 student artwork, musical performances from our 3rd–8th grade musicians, and open classrooms showcasing the learning, projects, and growth that have taken place throughout the year. It was wonderful to see our campus filled with so much joy, pride, and community.

We are so proud of our students and grateful to our teachers for helping nurture their creativity and confidence. Now begins the final stretch to the end of another amazing school year!

There’s just something special about a school trip to the zoo! Last week our 2nd graders enjoyed one of those classic childhood experiences--exploring the zoo with classmates, learning about animals from around the world, and making memories together along the way. Some traditions never go out of style, and a trip to the zoo is definitely one of them!

Yesterday our middle school students had a special assembly featuring former Harlem Globetrotter Will Bullard! His visit coincides with Mental Health Awareness Month, and students learned a great deal from this engaging and relevant presentation. Through humor, storytelling, and personal experiences, Mr. Bullard shared encouraging messages about perseverance, resilience, and supporting one another through life’s challenges.

A special thank you to GSLS alumna Mattea Fazio for helping bring this opportunity to our students as Mr. Bullard’s Marin County Ambassador!

This time of year always feels a little emotional as we prepare to celebrate our graduating 8th graders. Watching students who have grown up here reflect on who they've become is a joy to see.

This reflection, shared during our spring play by one of our soon-to-be graduates, captures it perfectly. From a shy student who "hardly spoke at all" to a confident young person ready for high school. This is what Good Shepherd is all about. Not just preparing students for what's next, but helping them discover what they're capable of.

And to Mrs. Simon and Mrs. Silva, this one's for you. 💙

Last week, our very own Katie Dumont was recognized as this year’s Rotary Teacher of the Year for GSLS!

This recognition reflects her dedication to our school and our students. Katie brings such a positive presence to our school, she approaches problems with a solutions mindset and is someone who collaborates thoughtfully with others.

What stands out most is her commitment to students. During kindergarten assessments, she looks for the strengths in every child and believes she can support them and help them grow. Once they are in her kindergarten class, she continues that work, nurturing students so they can become their best selves.

Her classroom is always a hive of productivity and care, where students are engaged and doing their best.

Congratulations to Katie on this well deserved recognition!
