Gloria Dei Academy has been participating in the long running Labels For Education Program which will be coming to an end as

of Jan. 2, 2018. Our school has banked points that can be redeemed for free educational equipment. The Academy has now taken on the goal to collect as many labels as possible before the end of the program. All we have to do is submit UPC’s with Labels For Education logo from Campbell’s, Swanson & V8 products to bank more points. Please submit you labels with the UPC’s to your child’s classroom or to either Academy office. Thank you!

The Kindergarten class has worked very hard to decorate the Church bulletin board in celebration

of the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, and on Tues., Oct. 31st (Reformation Day) the

students had the sweet duty of building a

Reformation castle, which soon became a yummy snack! Thank you Mrs. Talbott and Miss Trudy!

Thanks to all who came out last Thursday evening to the CDC and LC

Open House. What a great time to enjoy the childrens’ creative

artwork, meet the teachers, and observe the classroom!
