Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Gethsemane Lutheran is an all-day school for ages newborn to pre-K, so it is not just for pre-school age children. Our parent involvement is somewhat limited because we are almost all full-time working parents, so have limited time and resources for being hands-on at the school. That being said, many of the parents participate in fundraisers, and some serve on the Advisory Board.

Parent #3
although it was hard for the child, the teacher gave specific advice to those dropping him off and was loving and attentive while child adjusted
