Our mission at Grace Lutheran Church and School is to bring in, build up, and send out disciples for Jesus Christ. Our school prepares children for a life of discipleship by helping them to grow in faith, knowledge, and character.
Today is the last day to complete a parent survey for our Marketing and Enrollment consultant, Rick Newberry. It is an anonymous survey with results going straight to him. If you have not already done so, please take 15 minutes today to complete this survey.

The walkathon is 2 weeks from today. If you have not already done so, please take 15 minutes to set up your Pledgestar account and invite some friends or relatives to sponsor your student. It is easy. See details below.
MAP testing continues next week in Grades 2-8. Please see the schedule below to learn which days your student will be testing. Students are prepared to do their best when they get a full night sleep and eat a nutritious breakfast. Thanks for helping our students succeed.

Walk With Grace is just TWO WEEKS AWAY, on October 5.
If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes this weekend to create a
PledgeStar account.
Then use this convenient tool to ask friends and family to support your child's education at Grace School.
We’d love to see 100% school-wide participation in fundraising for the walk, but we are still only at 30%. The walk provides significant support for Grace School's operating budget and this year we are donating 10% of all money raised to World Vision. Please help us reach our goal!
We also need your help with the event, especially as a walk leader for the older grades. If you are willing and available, please
sign up here.
Parent Prayer Group: Tuesday morning, October 9, will be our first parent prayer meeting time. Meet us in the Conference Room at Grace at any time between 7:45-8:15am to pray for our school, our students and teachers. This has a drop-in format, so come when you can and leave when you must. Hope you can join us.
IT person needed: Grace Lutheran Church & School is looking for a part-time (3-4 hrs/day) technology coordinator. You don’t need to be an expert at this point to apply. We need someone with technology interest and aptitude who is willing and excited about learning the necessary skills. You will be trained by our out-going IT person and will be supported by an outside vendor we have contracted with for expert advice. Good interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills are a necessity. If interested, contact Bill Koehne in the school office or Jim McClanahan in the business office.
Please report absences to the direct school number at 708-366-6901. If you need to pick your child up early for any reason, they must be signed out at the school office. Thank you
We are still looking for someone who would be interested in taking Crossing Guard duty on Fridays. Time would be 2:55 until 3:20pm. Please call the school office if you can help.
