You've Invited to the Fall Family Social!

Bring the family for some FREE ICE CREAM from Cold Stone Creamery! We'll have corn hole set up, the playground will be open, and we'd love to have you drop in to "chill out" with your Grace family.

We're Going to the Cathedral!

5th-8th grade students will be participating the Episcopal School Celebration with other Episcopal schools in Jacksonville on Wednesday, October 3rd at St. John's Cathedral. The theme for this year's celebration is, "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed." We have several students that have been selected to sing, acolyte, and participate in the service. All 5th - 8th grade students are asked to bring an item to be donated to St. Mary's Pantry. Check out a list of needed items here . **Chapel for PK3 - 4th grades will be a combined chapel in the little chapel starting at 8:40 AM on this day.**

Do You Love to Take Photos?

Each class at Grace has a Shutterfly share site. If you're a parent that loves to take photos, please add your photos to your child's class share site. Your homeroom parent can share your site log in information. Photos added to the class sites are used for the school yearbook, on social media, and sometimes in print campaigns. The Grace yearbook is amazing and always includes multiple photos of every child at Grace. We need YOUR photos to make this happen! Check out the tips here for awesome photos!

Artists of the Week

Daniel P. in PK3 is this week's preschool Artist of the Week. He used sponge rollers and primary colors to make this awesome painting. Yellow + Blue = Green

Caitlin G. from the 3rd grade is this week's elementary Artist of the Week. She used markers to draw rainbow race cars. Look closely and you'll see the race cars are all driven by cats! Meow!
