Once a month the 7th and 8th graders have Art Cafe. They use premium paints and have a snack along with tea and coffee. Great idea Mrs. Hutchinson!










We had a gorgeous afternoon for our annual walk-a-thon! ☀️ We are SO PROUD of our students! They all did their best walking or running! Thank you to everyone who sponsored our students and helped this fundraiser be a success! 💙
Congratulations to our top runner/walker, Colton Tibbe, with 30 laps! 🎉🎉🎉










We might have been spoiled today at lunch! Homemade beef or chicken lasagna, garlic bread, fresh green beans from the garden, fresh fruit, no bake cookies, chocolate chip bars, M&M bars and rice crispy treats for dessert! ❤️
Thank you to all of our volunteers who prepare hot lunch for us to enjoy!








Today, Jordan Chambers from Grant Community Church led us in chapel.
He talked to us about how God knows everything about you. To take comfort that Jesus knows us and STILL loves us. How can I do something for God today?
Make today count!










First grade fun in the afternoon!





Wednesday means preschool fun and lunch with Chapel groups!

We would love our community to join us in prayer as we see what great things God will do when we come together as a community! Our Principal, Mr. Vander Zanden, challenged our staff on the last day to pray for B.E.T this summer! B - building - we are asking for God’s hand and provision in a new building plan to help us grow and meet the needs of GCS. E - enrollment - Our prayer is 100 students by fall! T - teacher - We are asking God to send us the right teacher to join our staff and be able to pour into our 2nd graders next school year.
Will you join us in this daily prayer?
