There's so much to love!
We are excited to have you join us for Giving Tuesday - also known as, Jaysgiving Day! Great things continue to happen in the school building including paying off the kitchen and cafeteria project, redoing our band room, hiring brand new positions including a Mental Health Specialist, Enrichment Specialist, and Director of Faith Formation and Religious Education. And not to mention, our students continue to thrive in academics, serve in the community, and flourish in their faith. Whether near or far, you are always a Jay right alongside us! And no one explains it better than our very own 4th grade teacher, Patty Hatting. See her experience below...
"I have enjoyed being part of the Gehlen family for the past 36 years because of the true sense of family that I feel each and every day. It's hard to describe until you truly experience it! The students make me smile, and I look forward to seeing them come through the door to my room each morning. I pray each day that I can make a positive impact on their lives, as they make an impact on my life in so many ways. I have also always felt a great connection to the faculty and staff that I have worked with. We all seem to have each others' backs, and share in all the highs and lows that go into working within a school system. Again...that's what family does! Sharing my faith each day, with a family that I LOVE in a special way, is what makes Gehlen Catholic School an amazing place to call home!!" – Patty Hatting, 4th grade teacher
Your gifts make it possible to continue the growing and lasting traditions of Catholic education in Le Mars and surrounding areas. THANK YOU!
