Dear Parents,
Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. Deuteronomy 15:10
Our The Good Shepherd’s Flock Spring fundraiser is off to a good start, but we really need everyone’s support to reach our goal. This year the focus of our campaign is to make some targeted upgrades throughout the campus to help teachers better facilitate 21st century learning for your children and make the campus even more comfortable and enjoyable for your child. In case you didn’t know, independent schools (like LGCA) must look after all of their own capital improvement costs. There is a great deal of stewardship around the funds that are so critical to keeping LGCA fresh and relevant in an ever-changing world. We give thanks for your understanding of the importance and value of a Christian Education for your child by selecting LGCA. As the school year is rapidly coming to a close, I urge you to search your heart and make a donation that will help make it possible for LGCA to reach its annual objectives. Every single dollar that is donated will make a positive impact on your child’s experiences here at LGCA. We’ve had a good start, but we really need everyone’s support so that this fundraiser sets another milestone in LGCA’s history. Adam Reid - Principal
