Makerspace Lab Open and Continuing to Grow

Sponsored by Patrick Taylor Foundation, the GSS Makerspace Lab is setup and growing. The lab is currently equipped with 3D printers, Carvey machines, and a laser cutter.  Students are taught the design, program, and printing process through science classes and special projects during enrichment.  Recently, four sewing machines, supplies, patterns, and much more arrived to begin the textile part of the lab through the art class and enrichment.  The Makerspace lab will continue to grow over the next 2 years as exciting new equipment and supplies are purchased.

GSS Mission Statement
The Good Shepherd Nativity Mission School, Inc., seeks to help low-income, urban youth in order to realize their fullest potential as productive members of society by providing them with an extended-day, year-round, quality education, integrated with personal, moral and spiritual development, and continued guidance during the students' further education.

The Judeo-Christian values which have inspired the Nativity model include a respect for the dignity and potential of each person, a responsibility to assist the poor and those in need, a strong sense of community within the one family of God, and the obligation to promote a society characterized by social justice. In this Nativity model, students are enrolled without regard to race, color, religion, or ethnicity.
