GCS Community at Work
We appreciate everyone's patience as we work through the challenges of this new learning adventure. Over the last week, staff have been collaborating and training to learn new tools and apps to engage the students at home. We have been pleased at how quickly the staff has been able to present learning in new and innovative ways.

It has been very encouraging to see the energy, cooperation, and support of the Grace family. Thank you!

If you have questions about a specific class, please contact the individual teacher. If you have other questions or concerns, please contact Joanne Kinder at jkinder@gcswarriors.org .

Continuing the School Year as Closely as Possible
The response from the GCS family has been wonderful as we shift to online high school. The faculty had two days to recreate their classes online and begin teaching. They responded with energy and enthusiasm. Some are turning into video stars as they record their lectures. The use of live classes is also helping us to make sure our students continue the school year as closely as possible.

We will continue to work on delivering school to your students as easily and as effectively as we can for you. Click HERE for a letter with updates on online school.

Thank you for your support and patience, and mostly, your prayers.

Athletics Update
Athlete in Focus: Peter Shifflett
Varsity Baseball
Peter Shifflett, a sophomore, pitched a perfect seven-inning game against the Smith Mountain Lake Ospreys on a beautiful evening in Stuarts Draft. 

After Shifflett made it through four innings of perfect baseball, it became clear to the coaches and players that they were watching something very special. After cruising thru innings 5 and 6, Shifflett had to face the top of the Ospreys lineup one last time to complete the feat. The Ospreys lead-off hitter provided the most drama of the evening, as he lined a 1-1 fastball into the glove of second baseman Will Golden. Shifflett went on to strike out the remaining two hitters to finish off the incredible night. Peter finished with eighteen strikeouts — nine of those looking, while not allowing any balls out of the infield.
