Grace Lutheran School teachers always go above and beyond. But THIS year, they're going BEYOND beyond!

The amount of additional work, creativity, and drive that it takes to maintain our high standards of education in a COVID-19 world is truly extraordinary. Not only do our teachers follow the training and protocols for in building safety, they also essentially teaching two groups every class period, with both in person AND remote students- all while keeping focus on our mission of an academically excellent, Christ-centered education.

It's a Herculean effort... and these teachers deserve some Herculean recognition.

That's where we'd like parents to help. Please take a moment to write a note to thank, encourage and recognize a Grace teacher that is making a difference in your child or family's life.
