A Graceful Evening - Buy-in Donations-Last year's A Graceful Evening debuted an exciting Buy-In Category where, for the donation price of one ticket, students and families could participate in larger group activities such as a basketball clinic with Mr. Koehne, a Private Spin class, or a Private Shopping event in a local boutique. For the 2018 A Graceful Evening event, we are hoping to expand this category to host even more exciting events! Do you have an idea? Perhaps you want to host a Wine and Cheese event at your home for 6 guests? Maybe you have a connection to a local ice cream parlor who would host a few kids for a make-your-own Sundae event? The possibilities are endless! If you have an event idea or further questions, please email us at
AGracefulEvening@gmail.com and as always, thank you for your creativity and support of our school!

The
After School Enrichment Program will begin its winter session the week of January 29th. This season includes several exciting options covering a range of topics in 4 or 8-week sessions. Check out all class offerings described in this
packet.
PARENTS NEEDED! The Safe Practices Policy at Grace Lutheran Church and School requires that two adults be present whenever an instructor who is not a Grace teacher is working with students.
For the Winter 2017 enrichment session, we could use help implementing this policy for several of the after school classes. If you are willing to accompany
every session of your child’s enrichment class, we can offer a $40 discount off the class fee ($20 discount for a 4-week class). Active participation in the class is neither expected nor required. Please contact Eileen Maggio to confirm your discount before final payment.
Enrichment classes fill up quickly! Classes will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis.
The registration deadline is Friday, January 26, 2017. Please make checks payable to Grace Lutheran School. Tuition is non-refundable, except if a class is cancelled due to insufficient registration. There will be no make-up classes due to student absences.
We hope you take advantage of these exciting enrichment opportunities brought to you by the
Grace Parents Organization.
The school Lost and Found is overflowing. All items will be put out next week on tables near the school office. Please take the opportunity to check if anything belongs to your child. Any items left at the end of the week, will be put in the clothes donation bin.
