Parents and Guardians,
“There was an accident in the GLS parking lot today. A driver ran through the light from 488, hit a barrier, and then ran into the church side of the building and also hit few staff cars that were parked. Everyone is okay – including the driver. The police and EMS are here on sight. Please refrain from calling the main office. Ms. Gastler will send a follow-up email once things settle down. Thank you so much for your prayers and continued support! “
