Through the direction of our marketing consultant, we are doing several new things to promote our school. One of those is the creation of several videos to share the story of Grace Lutheran School. Two of them have been completed and are available
on our school website and
Facebook page. Check them out and share them with friends. We will let you know when more are completed. We have also begun First Look Fridays as a way to give families a chance to see our school in action. Once a month guests are welcome to just stop in for a tour. Today we had 5 families come to GLS. Our next First Look Friday is on March 8. We continue to have yard signs and car magnets available for Grace families to display. Stop by the school office to get yours. Thanks for helping us promote our school!
