2019 Dancing with the Stars

The 2019 Dancing with the Stars was a huge success that exceeded our wildest imaginations. We raised over $315,000 for our students and it's all a result of the work and dedication of the couples and choreographers seen here. Thank you to the over 800 people in attendance and all the volunteers and Marriott staff who made the evening the amazing night that it was!

CONGRATULATIONS to this year's FAN FAVORITE, Jennifer Collins & Christian Collins (Fran Moran, choreographer) and the MIRROR BALL championship winners Rupa Jolly & Gus Anderson (Annie Cuccia, choreographer)!

​​We are grateful to God for the grace bestowed on us at The Good Shepherd School, through this incredible event. It would not have been possible without the support, efforts and prayers of our event sponsors and benefactors, attendees, volunteers and participants.

A special THANK YOU to Ms. Jamie Roy and Ms. Caroline Schulin.  Without their hard work, organization, and leadership, Dancing with the Stars, The Good Shepherd Way, would not exist and would not be such a success!

In the end, we know that our students are the winners!

Civil Engineers Talk Erosion With 4th Grade

Picture
Civil Engineers Kevin Kernion and Nick Priola from Cycle Construction visited GSS to speak with the 4th graders about erosion on the Mississippi River Levees and on the city street pot holes.  They explained how levees and streets are made as well as how erosion threatens the levees and how they contain the river.  The presentation was very interactive with much student participation.  The students were very interested and asked many questions.  Soon, the students will create their own solutions to some of the erosion and pot hole problems to present for their PBL.

Loews Hotel Visit & Scavenger Hunt

9/11 Prayer Service to Honor and Remember
Picture
The Loews Hotel in downtown New Orleans recently invited the GSS 7th graders to visit the hotel.  To their surprise, a full lunch was waiting for them.  After hearing about the hotel and the many things that go on in a hotel, the 7th graders were given a "behind the scenes" scavenger hunt tour.  They traveled in groups and had to locate certain items and places within the hotel.  One of them even had a "find what is wrong" where the students had a picture of how a fully prepared room was supposed to look like and had to find what was incorrect.  After their exploring, the students were treated to ice cream sundaes.  A special thank you goes out to the Loews Hotel for their continued support and love of GSS and the students.

On Wednesday, September 11, 2019, the GSS students held a prayer service to remember and honor the victims of the September 11th attacks.  Students led prayers and readings, a remembrance video was shown, and then everyone processed to the campus flag pole to present the colors at half mast to honor the 9/11 victims.  The prayer service was organized by Mr. John Collins and was presented by the GSS 7th graders.
