Superheroes are taking over the 8K River Day! New theme, temporary location, same epic race.  Who’s YOUR superhero…Superman, Wonder Woman, a local police officer, a military veteran, a cancer survivor?  We all have at least one favorite hero, so grab your cape and come run with us!   We’ll start at the fire station, with some local superheroes, and continue on a certified 5K and 8K course, as we run through old Orange Park. We'll even have a 1 mile fun run course for those that just want a shorter course! All proceeds directly benefit Grace, so mark your calendars now for Saturday, February 16th. This is a fun, family friendly morning supporting a favorite cause.  Use the code GRACE to receive $5 off the 5K and 8K registration fees when you register 1/19/19. Any student registered by 1/19/19 will be allowed to wear his/her race shirt to school on February 8th and 15th. **Also, make sure to "like" the 5K/8K Superhero Run - f/k/a 8K River Day page on Facebook for the latest updates.

Do you receive text notifications from Grace? Important changes are happening!

Important changes to text notifications from Grace: Beginning January 28, 2019, the service that Grace uses for all text notifications is changing. If you use Verizon, and normally get your Remind messages as texts, you will no longer receive these messages as texts. Verizon Wireless has raised their rates and is no longer partnering with Remind.com. No other cell carriers are impacted at this time. What can you do? We want to make sure you are able to receive notifications. For now, to make sure you continue to receive messages,  download the Remind.com mobile app  and/or  enable email notifications (in your account settings) —both of which are free of charge. If you are not signed up for messages, it's not too late! Simply text @ilovegrace to the phone number 81010. This will enable you to receive emergency messages from Grace. Standard message rates apply. You can opt out at any time. Your phone number will not be shared with or visible to other parents. No one will be able to reply to group messages, so you will not receive a million messages after the initial message is sent!

Seen Around Campus

Fun in Extended Day - what an opportunity for teamwork! 4th graders played Spanish Scrabble in Spanish class this week. Scrabble is tricky enough in English. Way to go kids!

1st graders set up a "pretend" school store to practice learning the values of coins, and how to add them together. Ava had fun at the math carnival put on by Grace's pre-algebra students.

Second graders posing for a group photo. Always ready for the camera! Subtraction facts require a lot of concentration.
