Grace School News
March 17, 2023
Graceful Evening was a huge success! Through the generous donations of sponsors, attendees, people contributing from home, and students throughout the week, the event raised more than $95,000 for Grace School.  This money will be used to complete classroom updates, improve technology, and support the general fund of the school which allows us to continue providing excellence in Christian education. 

Special thanks to event co-chairs Mara Hutton, Kathryn Schmahl, and Karen Patel, and everyone else who put in countless hours to make Graceful Evening a special event for all of us while raising an incredible amount of money for our school!

This evening our 5th & 6th graders put on the play A Thousand Cranes in Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to attend. See details below.

Have a great weekend!
A Thousand Cranes
Fifth and sixth graders are performing “A Thousand Cranes” tonight at 7pm in Fellowship Hall. It’s a play about a girl in Japan who contracted leukemia as a result of the atomic bomb that exploded in Hiroshima at the end of World War II. The students folded 1,000 origami cranes — in preparation for tonight’s performance — a symbol of the wish for peace in the world. 
Grace students saw the show this morning at 9. All are welcome at the evening performance.

Class of 2023 Bake Sale
The Class of 2023 is sponsoring a bake sale to raise funds for their class gift. Be sure to stop by after the show for a delicious treat! Goodies will be in the atrium and main hallway. Please bring cash.
Save the Date
Thank you for those who have volunteered!
Grace is still in need of volunteers to help at dismissal as a crossing guard on Monday and Friday. This would be a once-a-week commitment from 2:55 - 3:15.
If you are interested, please call the school office at 708-366-6901 or email office@graceriverforest.org.
