☕ Why swing by Starbucks when we're right here in the drop-off line?!

Skip the extra stop and grab your morning iced coffee from us instead! Sip on a black, vanilla, or caramel iced coffee (only $5!) while your kiddo enjoys a chocolate milk. A sweet little moment of morning conversation before they head off to start their day. 💛

It's sweet, it's easy, and it supports our amazing Sunshine Committee, the crew that pours into the teachers and staff who pour into our kids every single day. Best part? You may not even have to leave the car!

🕢 7:30-8:20am (K-8) | 8:45-9:15am (Preschool)
📍 Right in your drop-off line
💳 Cash or CashApp (exact change required!)

Will you be grabbing a coffee with us? What's your flavor of choice?

🍂 Hello, September! 🍂

A new month is here, and we are so thankful for all that September brings to our GLS family! Our halls are filled with familiar smiles, new friendships, learning, laughter, and so many opportunities to grow together.

As we settle into the rhythm of a new school year, we are praying for a month filled with joy, growth, meaningful connections, and God’s guidance over our students, families, teachers, and staff.

We’re excited for all that God has in store for our GLS family this month! ❤️

What is ONE thing your family is looking forward to this September? Ours is going to the pumpkin patch! I’d love to hear from you in the comments! ⬇️

Waffle-ly 🧇 Appreciated!

We had a little something cooking behind the scenes today! The Sunshine Committee surprised our amazing GLS teachers and staff with a sweet breakfast spread to remind them just how WAFFLE-LY APPRECIATED they are!

Waffles, fresh fruit, and a whole lot of love were waiting for our staff this morning. We are so grateful for the people who pour into our students each and every day with patience, purpose, and love.

“Serve one another in love.” — Galatians 5:13

A little breakfast was our way of saying THANK YOU for all that you do. We are blessed to have such an incredible GLS staff!

Love,
Mrs. Charles & Miss Daniels
The Sunshine Committee ☀️
