Have you noticed our new Spirit Shop? A big thanks to Dan and Maranda Williams, Amanda Webber, and Rexanne Crysel for a great job in putting together our Spirit Shop.
The Middle School students are practicing their Shakespeare play; the Lower School had tryouts for the musical to be performed for the upcoming Grandparents' Day. We have so much talent in this school, and it is hard to decide whom to give which part to for this musical about the Hymns of Our Faith. We will perform it for you on Wednesday, March 7th and for the Grandparents on March 9th.
Please send us the names and addresses of your child's grandparents or grandpals for Grandparents' Day which is Friday, March 9 from 9:00-‐11:30. There is early dismissal, and your child may go home early to enjoy your parents. There will be
Dear Parents,
We had a wet and wonderful week with your students! We had two Open Houses for new families. We appreciate you encouraging your friends to come to our Open Houses!
A loving reminder that your re-‐enrollment forms and registration fee are due by February 1 in order to save the $1,000.00 enrollment fee and also, to secure a place for your child. Starting on February 2, we do begin to enroll siblings of current students, and then any openings left will go to the other applicants we have received. When you re-‐enroll, you will receive a sign for your yard that says "A Grace Academy family lives here." We encourage you to put the sign in your yard to help spread the word about Grace Academy.
Thank you for putting out the posters with all the Open House Information Coffee dates for us at your churches, favorite restaurants, and work places.
Letter from the Head of School a photo opportunity, program, tour of the school, and a warm welcome for all the grandparents.
We are having monthly luncheons called Grace for Your Day. A card is being sent home with your child with the dates and topics. Invite a friend and join us! It's for men and women. Pick up extra cards and put them up at your church or work place.
This Friday, the PTF is providing an Ice Cream Social to celebrate our kids! That night is our first Parent Social at the home of Angela and Kevin Calk. We look forward to having fun as the Grace family. RSVP for childcare with the Student Council at the school.
Have a blessed week!
Warmly,
Mrs. Capehart

Last week in Mrs. Zuehsow’s class we had the best event ever. The fifth grade class competed together in... The Measurement Olympics! We had to compete in six events: the javelin shoot, the discus throw, the standing long jump, the shuttle run, the boat race, and the snack mix. The javelin shoot, discus throw, and standing long jump were all part of the distance events. The shuttle run and the boat race were time events. The snack mix was a volume event. We did all these events, measured, and then handed the ribbons. We also took a ton of pictures. This was not only a fun event, but it was a really fun way to learn. I’m proud of everybody because we all had good sportsmanship. By: Jennah Williams

The class learned about how we often squander our treasures in Heaven to satisfy a temporal desire. The kids enjoyed eating beans...well most of them did. :) Right: Michael Beaty participating in the Measurement Olympics; Noah Wise celebrating a successful event; Kensey Crysel measuring a distance for the Olympics; First grade is very excited about the new building!
