MEMORY VERSES

Perseverance

Test: March 26th 


 

Consider it pure joy, my brothers

and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

James 1:2-4


 

 

Take Up Your Cross

Test: April 2nd

 

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.

Matthew 16:24-25


 

 

Forgive Others

Test: April 9th


 

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

SENIORS AND PARENTS: COLLEGE FINANCING

If you plan to apply for federal financial aid for college, go to https://fafsa.ed.gov/.

Both a parent and the student need to create a PIN number. I t's recommended you do this NOW as it can take awhile to receive your number.

Then, remember to have your tax return ready to go as soon as possible so you can have accurate financial aid information when making your college choice.  
COLLEGE PREP RESOURCES  
Parents of juniors and seniors, check out the free resources at the College Board Website. The website offers general college planning guidelines and Financial Aid 101.

GRACE PREP OPEN HOUSE


LOSING YOUR HAIR OVER TEACHING YOUR STUDENT TO DRIVE?

Dave Jameson is offering a Driver Education Program for our Grace Prep students. Taking the Driver Education program is $35.00 an hour. If you take six lessons ($210) you will also receive a certificate stating you have completed six hours of in car training which should get you a discount of around 10% on your car insurance.

Dave is a certified driver education instructorIf interested just let Dave know and he can get you more information and put you on the schedule.

You will also spend at least one lesson at the DMV practicing parallel parking and the routes they take students on for their test. You will practice at least three times the exact test that will be given on test day. This creates no surprises and less anxiety on test day. Dave has a very high success rate of students who have passed on their first try. When the student passes the test they will get a junior license.

Please feel free to call Dave at 814-574-9193 or better yet e-mail him at doj11@scasd.org.

ANYONE CAN "RUN" A 5K!

There will be a 5k walk/jog/run at the Chinese Alliance Church on Sunday, April 12th. Anyone can participate! Individuals who want to participate need to inform senior Shannon Pigott via e-mail: shannonpigott@gmail.com, or by signing up at school.


The race will begin at 1:30 pm and runners should arrive at least 15 minutes in advance to register. Volunteers are appreciated!


This will be a simple event; no registration fee is required. Five dollar donations and the submission of a short application will earn any youth (Ages 0-17) the chance to win a free, 1 year membership to the YMCA. Small thank-you gift included with donation. E-mail Shannon for application and details!


*If you know of a youth or young adult who would really benefit from (and want!) a YMCA membership, you may donate and apply for that person. Please consult them first, and contact Shannon with details.

ANNIE JR. SPONSORSHIP

 

Here is your chance to support a student you may know in the production of ANNIE JR. You can send in a note of encouragement, a special Bible verse, a baby picture of your actor from when they were little, or a picture of them now with something uplifting! This is always fun for the actors to see in the program the night of the show! If any of you have a business that you want to have some advertising for, this is a great way to advertise. Just send in your filled out sponsor sheet with any art work or photos that you would want in the program by Monday, April 20th.

EXPERIENCE "THE WAY OF THE CROSS"

On Good Friday, April 3rd, Calvary Baptist will again be presenting "The Way of the Cross."   This is a series of interactive prayer stations depicting the hours

surrounding Christ's crucifixion.  We highly recommend it!  It is an excellent opportunity to take time praying and thinking about all that transpired the day Jesus was crucified!  


 



SPORTS BANQUET

 

The Sports Banquet has been rescheduled for  Monday, April 20th, 6:00-8:00  pm  at the school.

SPEND YOUR TUITION DOLLARS AT SHEETZ!

  Many parents that participate in Grace Prep's SCRIP program are able to skip their June payment entirely  or at least pay a greatly reduced amount. It is easy to participate in the program, and some families have found that it helps with budgeting.

After signing up, you may access your account and pay for gift cards from your favorite grocery stores, gas stations, clothing stores, and restaurants. Then, when you visit these locations, you pay for your purchases with your gift cards. Each gift card purchase saves you tuition money.
