LEAP Excitement!

As the students prepare for LEAP this week, students in grades 3-7 participated in a GSS LEAP Pep Rally last Friday. Each class performed a cheer, skit, or chant to motivate their classmates and peers to “Beat the LEAP”. We also had the support from the lower grades who cheered them on to VICTORY!

During LEAP testing, Pk - 2nd grade students are treated to field trips throughout the week. On one of the days, the 1st grade were treated to Sunset Slush NOLA for Italian Ice and treats.  Thank you so much for accommodating us and we look forward to visiting again later in the week! Students also visited Grow Dat Youth Farm and The Broad Theater.  We are thankful and blessed for a successful LEAP week!

GSS 3rd-7th grade students recently had the honor of listening to an amazing motivational speech by Judge D. Nicole Sheppard. Judge Sheppard, a wife and mother, was elected as an Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge in 2017. Her impressive background includes graduating from SUNO and the Southern University Law Center, and owning the Sheppard Williams Law Firm. She has also had the rare opportunity of being admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court, and currently teaches at Dillard University.

Thank you, Judge Sheppard, for taking the time to inspire and motivate our students! Your dedication to public service and improving our society is truly admirable.

The Good Shepherd 5th and 6th grade boys were recently treated to a fun, exciting, and educational experience thanks to Stuart Hall School and The Hovercraft Project.  Stuart Hall invited the boys to their campus for the STEM project where the students built and rode hovercrafts.  The Hovercraft Project travels the United States teaching students the principles behind how and why a hovercraft is possible and then helps the students to build and ride their own hovercraft.
