🌟 2nd Grade Living Museum 🌟
Mrs. Voelker and Mrs. Kohlbrecher held a living museum this morning! The students chose a person, created a presentation, dressed like their person, and recited three facts about their person as you walked through the museum. They did such an amazing job! Can you guess who they all are?!

💙🤍 Brooksen was the best Assistant Principal for a Day today with Mrs. Howard! He greeted students at drop off, prepped for the 8th grade awards assembly, counted the mini knights for the graduation dinner, had lunch at Peel with his friend, supervised lunch recess, handed out caps and gowns to the 8th graders, handed out certificates at the awards assembly, and led the 8th grade parade for their last day of school with the Knight on wheels! What a great day! 💙🤍

The 8th graders did a wonderful job leading May Crowning this morning, and then celebrated their final school Mass as St. Clare Knights. 💐

Big things happened on The Good Shepherd Preschool’s campus this week! We had one of our special parents share with us his journey as a Police Helicopter Pilot. The children and staff were so excited to participate!

Beautiful day for our GSP Family Picnic Day! Thank you to all of our wonderful families for celebrating with us! ❤️

Thank you to everyone that joined us for our First Annual Art and Science Expo. We are grateful for Mrs. Fischer, Mrs. Lucas, and Mrs. Egan who spearheaded the event.

A special thank you to the following people that help make the night a success:

We are blessed to be part of such a supportive community.

Abby Joost, 8th grader, was recognized at the 2024 Illinois Principals Association Southwest Region Student Recognition Breakfast held on April 30, 2024 at The Regency in O’Fallon, Illinois. Abby was chosen because she exemplifies leadership, good character, and strong academics.

New this year, the administration was able to choose 1 student (based on school size/enrollment) to be recognized at the event. Students invite two family members/guests to join them and their principal for breakfast, an award presentation and a keynote speaker address.

Congratulations to Abby!

Having these very special Seniors from Althoff Catholic High School were such a blessing to these children and our staff. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us! Their future is bright!!!

We are proud of our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students that spent a portion of their day working outside in the school garden. Students placed 630 bags of rock (50 lbs. a piece) in the garden, pulled weeds, added soil to planters, and picked up trash around the school. We were fortunate to have Althoff Catholic High School students, Michael and Drew, be leaders for the day.

The Good Shepherd Preschool had special visitors from Cowboy Critter’s come visit our campus. Such a fun day to explore and learn all about our special furry friends!

We were so blessed to celebrate Mass at St. Nicholas Parish this morning and thank Ms. Sherri for her years of service to the Good Shepherd Preschool. 💙 We were happy that so many people could join us, including Ms. Sherri’s family, some of our former GSP teachers, and so many families whose lives have been touched by Ms. Sherri. Then, we ended our day with a beautiful presentation of Shadow Stations of the Cross from our 8th grade class of 2024. We wish you a very blessed Holy Week. ✝️
