We just finished hearing the report from the Accreditation site time visit. I'm happy to report that they will recommend that Good Shepherd's School receive "exemplary" accreditation status. What this means is that they believe Good Shepherd's met at least 95% of the accrediation standards. I don't think it's too much to say that is a tremendous blessing.

They will report this to the accreditation commission who will make the final determination later this summer.

Jeff Inninger, the team captain, commended us especially for our family atmosphere saying that we have teachers, pastors and staff who clearly love their Lord and love the children we serve at Good Shepherd's. He said in their conversations with parents and students, they hear the word "family" a lot as people talk about the school and the church.

Please take a moment and thank God for this. Please also continue to pray for our school as there is still work to be done.

And finally, thank you for supporting our Good Shepherd's family with your prayers, volunteerism, and much else.

Of course it is not the organization we serve, it is our Savior, Jesus Christ, we serve. All glory goes to him for giving us this gift and we pray that we can continue to serve him faithfully at with our school and our church.
