They will be collecting money and supplies until October 23rd.
Scarecrows, pumpkins, and turkeys, oh my! 1st graders joined up with their 5th and 6th grade buddies for a fun afternoon of fall charades and reading games. Wednesday buddy afternoons are often a highlight of a middle schooler's week in the GCS community.
Did you know it's fire safety week? Our Preschoolers and Kindergartners have been learning all about fire safety and today they got to go to our local fire station. They learned all about fire safety, what to do if there's a fire at their house, and what a fireman looks like! They had a great visit to the fire station! Thank you Ashland Grant Fire District! ❤️

Here is some of what STEM has been up to as we are back in school. The 7th/8th graders have been learning about atoms and made scale models of Helium atoms around the classroom. 2nd grade has been learning about seeds and plants. They spent time making paper models of different seeds and observing how each one disperses differently. The maple seed model was voted the fasted flying seed.
We are hiring a 2 day a week aide! If you're interested in applying, please contact our Admin team! dvanderzanden@grantchristianschool.org Tim.steenstra@grantchristianschool.org
Many thanks to Mrs. Duerloo! On Friday she presented a creative and fun hands-on lesson on soap making! As 3rd/4th prepare to dive into God's Word using the SOAP bible study method, this great object lesson reminds us that just as we need to apply soap to keep our bodies clean, our hearts need to apply God's Word! 💙
2nd graders decided how they can use their super powers this year in class!
The preschoolers had the fifth and sixth graders come visit their classroom today to help them with a tracing project! The preschoolers enjoyed having help from the “big kids”!
Today 3/4 found several truths in God's Word that the Lord is even the God of weather! What confidence we have that He controls all things!
Our First graders practiced "magnifying" words today to help us better understand our memory verse today. At least half our class has already memorized the verse! Great job, First graders!
While the kindergarteners were at STEM one of the butterflies broke out of the protective chrysalis! Five more to go. God is so amazing...from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly!
