Annual Fund... the Results!

We are humbled and amazed at the generosity displayed during this year's Annual Fund drive. More than half (52.9%) of our school community donated to the Annual Fund with contributions totaling $116,000 ... and counting! This includes 100% participation from our Board of Trustees and 98% participation from our staff. Families - we really want to get that giving percentage up, so if you haven't donated yet, please consider making a donation. Every dollar counts! We are so thankful for the many ways our GRACE families bless the school, and we promise to steward those funds wisely to invest in the lives of our students!
 
Did you want to make a donation to the Annual Fund? It's not too late! Feel free to make your donation here. You can still be a part of the incredible work God is doing in our community.
 

Operation Christmas Child

We are excited to announce that the annual tradition of participating in the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child will continue this year. Lower Campus students will be sent home with a box on Friday and Upper Campus students can pick theirs up at the front desk. Please bring your filled boxes on November 20th. Click here for details on how to pack a box!


Also, this year we created an online opportunity for families who would prefer to build a shoebox online. Click here to start an online box today!
