Homecoming 2022 - That's a Wrap!
Thank you to all our staff and volunteers who made Homecoming 2022 such a success! From the parade and pep rally (please tell me your student told you all about the epic teacher lip sync battle) to the tailgate, game and dance - we had an incredible turnout from our GCS community! Thank you, Ritter Orthodontics, for sponsoring this year's event!To see pictures from Homecoming, make sure you're following GRACE Christian School on Facebook!
Grandparents Day: October 28th!
Make sure mimi, papa, nana and gramps have Grandparents Day on the calendar. We are so excited to be able to have our grandparents back on campus this year for a special performance by our students, as well as time to visit their grandchildren's classrooms. Also, that Friday is a half-day. We hope grandparents will be able to take advantage of the early release day to spend more time together as a family.
Free Sports Nutrition Session
GRACE Athletics Department is hosting a free virtual Sports Nutrition session hosted by Meredith Magnini MS, RDN, LD with Wholehearted Nutrition & Wellness LLC. While this event is designed for our 6th-12 grade athletes and their families, all GCS families are welcome to participate.
Sports nutrition is the foundation of athletic success as it supports the body for optimal performance in the sport and in day-to-day functioning. This session with a Registered Dietitian will review the basics of nutrition and the nutrients needed for fuel. Sports nutrition, as with all nutrition, is specific to the individual and their sport/goals. Working with a Dietitian will help an athlete understand how to fuel their body appropriately for performance and also rest days.
We not only want to make strides in athletics mentally and spiritually but also physically. One of those main areas is educating all involved with athletics (coaches, parents, and student-athletes) on how to take care of our bodies before, during, and after athletic seasons.
Please join us tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct. 12th, to hear Meredith give us some great information!
