“Now thank we all our God, with hearts and hands and voices” is the opening line to my favorite Thanksgiving Day hymn. As I think back on the first three months of this school year, I am grateful for all of the opportunities our students have had to thank God through service projects, singing in church, and interacting with each other on a daily basis. I am thankful for the teachers and church staff who do so much to shape the Christian atmosphere in our building. And I am thankful for you! Your involvement and passion for Grace sets us apart. If you are staying in town next week, please know you are invited to join us for Thanksgiving Day worship at 10:00am as we praise and thank God for all He has done for us!
We have school on Monday and Tuesday, but there will be no Principal Notes next week. Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

Dr. Appointments:
There has been an increase in students leaving during the school day for medical appointments. Educationally, it is best if these can be done outside of school hours. If an appointment needs to be during school hours, please contact the school office and homeroom teacher the day before the appointment so that we are prepared for a smooth transition.
