We are excited to share that St. Gabriel Preschool has been selected to participate in Thrive by 5 Louisville, an early childhood development program led by Mayor Greenberg, and supported by the Louisville Metro Council and the State of Kentucky.

As noted on the Thrive by 5 Louisville website, "Thrive by 5 is partnering with 26 early learning centers across Louisville to support educators, strengthen classrooms, and make childcare more accessible for families. This is just the beginning, but it represents a powerful step toward a community where every child can thrive."

We applied for this distinction, and the associated pilot program, in the summer and after an extensive vetting and interview process, St. Gabriel was selected as part of the pilot program. We are so excited about the opportunity this provides to our existing and future students and our community. We are thriving here at St. Gabriel.

It’s that time of year.  The weather is turning colder, and it's time to bundle up outside.  We do go outside for recess even when the weather is cold so please send your child with a coat, hat, and gloves.  Students need to wear a Saint Gabriel sweatshirt with their uniform.  All non-uniform sweatshirts or jackets are removed when inside.  Be sure to LABEL these items so they can be returned if lost. 

We hope you enjoyed your snow day!  The next snow day will be Distance Learning.  Click here for more information about distance learning.

*If you did not receive an alert about the snow day on Tuesday, please contact the office so we can update your information.
