Grace in the News | Go Eagles Go!
•Check out this cool article about our 3rd graders! Special thanks to Drew's family for sharing with us.

•The stars have aligned and our awesome Grace faculty and staff members have decided to forgo their Secret Santa gift exchange with each other in order to provide gifts for children in our community that need a little extra Christmas cheer. Nice work teachers and staff!

•Big congrats to Mrs. Britt for receiving a $2,000 grant from The Henry and Lucy Gooding Endowment for our library! We are so proud of you and can't wait to see all of the wonderful new additions to our library.

Hark the Herald Angels Sing! Congratulations to our new Artists of the Week from Mrs. Webb's 1st grade class: Elianna and Ambrose. These students used colored pencil to draw and color a beautiful singing Christmas angel. Nice work, kids!
Kayden and Beatrix from Mrs. Lewis' PK3 Class are our Preschool Artists of the Week. They enjoyed mixing colors and painting with plastic forks to create their winter trees. Beautiful work, girls.

We're looking for new community partners! We are deep in the planning stages of the 5K/8K Superhero Run.
