I love this photo of Courtney, mother of Grayson, who is an active member of the PTG at Good Shepherd Catholic School. Members of the PTG (Parent Teacher Group) play a vital role at school.  They are the backbone of many of our social and fundraising activities at school and are a very creative, competent and thoughtful group of mothers and fathers.

In this photo, she is delivering coffee and drinks to our full-time teachers during Catholic Schools Week.  Her contagious smile reflects the joy that she brings to everything that she does for our students and staff.  A huge thank you to these unsung heroes (PTG members) who work behind the scenes--who also have "real" jobs during the day--helping our school to be a blessing, not just for ourselves, but for the community in which we live.
