It's Almost Soccer Season
Soccer is just around the corner!
Grace Prep will be requiring PIAA CIPPE physical forms in addition to the Grace Prep general student physical form, so if your student plans on competing in any sport, you will need to fill out that paperwork. Sports physicals are $30 through Med Express but physicals have to occur after June 1st to count for the next year. The forms will be sent out at a later time.
We are looking for a parent to take over the responsibility of concession stand during home games. We are also looking for someone to be in charge of organizing packed lunches to away games during soccer season. This will not only feed the kids healthier food typically, it also gets us home earlier which is a huge plus! Click here to get this year's schedule.

Jumping Scrip?
You can on these Dates:
Pickup 4/27
Order 5/8 - Pickup 5/11
Order 5/22 - Pickup 5/25
Interested in signing up for Scrip? Please contact Jean at
[email protected]
.
My wife and I have been using the Scrip program when our children were at Nittany Christian and have been using it since its inception at Grace Prep. Here is a short list of the benefits that we have found with the program:
- Buying gift cards helps you to budget and plan for your expenses. You know what you are spending and don't fall into the trap of excessive credit card spending.
- Buying gift cards from the numerous companies on Scrip is a great way to give Christmas and birthday presents.
- Planning a major home improvement project or appliance purchase, why not buy Scrip cards for Lowe's, Home Depot or Sears for example?
- For years while our children were attending Nittany Christian and Grace Prep we used the Scrip percentage that was attributed to us the purchaser to help pay for our children's tuition (a big help when you are sending four children through private school).
- Now that are children have all graduated we still purchase Scrip gift cards and donate the Scrip percentage back to the school and receive a tax deduction for the donation. What an easy way to bless the school by simply purchasing gift cards for necessities such as groceries and gas.
Grace and peace,
Bryan and Stacy Spang
