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.
The Walk with Grace walk-a-thon fundraiser for Grace School is just 2 weeks away! This is one of only 3 fundraisers for our school, designated to support the school and our families in need. Pledgestar is an easy to use platform that sends a customized email invitation to whomever you put into the system. Please take time this weekend to initiate or update your Pledgestar account.
We are in need of volunteers for the Walk-a-thon. Check out all the options for volunteers at this link.
Fall MAP Testing begins next week. MAP tests are the standardized tests that we administer three times a year. The schedule for testing can be found in the calendar below. Getting a good night sleep and eating a healthy breakfast help students do their best on these tests. Families of remote learning students should have received a separate email earlier today with details on MAP testing for your children.

GLS Masks: There are some extra adult size face masks. If you would like to purchase, the cost is $6.00 each. Please pay online or send a check/cash to the school office and we will give them to your child to bring home.
Calling all Grace families, both in-person and remote!!
Walk with Grace - Sign Up Today! - Walk with Grace, Grace Lutheran School’s annual walk-a-thon fundraiser is Friday, October 2nd, which means we are only TWO WEEKS AWAY! We are currently not even half-way to our $20,000 goal, it's all hands on deck time! So, if you haven't already, please sign up for Pledgestar. It is by far the easiest way to raise funds for our sensational school and fabulous families, every little bit helps!
As you know, along with raising funds, we will be walking through the neighborhood and collecting items for Beyond Hunger. In addition, the students will also be bringing in their own items starting next Thursday 9/25 (information in Tuesday folder) in a friendly class competition. This year the students are not only bringing in items to benefit our greater community, but they are also looking to win for their teachers. Our students and families are so blessed to have such a dedicated staff, they always go above and beyond for their students, but this year takes that to an extreme! The students will learn more about this on Monday, but each homeroom teacher will be paired with an aide or "specials" teacher. Each class will bring in their Beyond Hunger donations and the winning class will be able to gift their teacher pair something special!
Forgotten books or lunches: If you bring a student book or lunch that was forgotten at home, you will be need to put it in the bin inside the first set of front doors. The front desk receptionist will then collect it and get it to your student.
Birthday Book order form- The Birthday Book Program is back for all Grace students! Participating in this program is a wonderful way to celebrate your child’s special day while helping to provide great literature for our library at Grace
