The first and second graders learned how to make bagels this week. They also went on an outdoor scavenger hunt.
Today our kindergarten class learned about jack rabbits and the second graders learned about pond life. We enjoyed the beautiful outdoors today!
We have eggs, eggs and more eggs! Our 3rd/4th graders are busy collecting every day!
They are available for purchase, $3.00 a dozen. Stop in the office if you are interested.
Yesterday our Preschoolers got to go to Kindergarten for half the day! They learned all about bugs! They had fun searching for bugs inside and out on the playground with their new magnifying glasses!
Recess! Only at Grant Christian School!

Our readers sure knocked it out of the park this year for reading month! ❤️
Our goal for the month was to read 30,000 minutes as a school, and we did it! 🎉 We will get to enjoy a Whitecaps baseball game to celebrate in May! Our class with the most minutes read, earning a pizza party, was the 1st and 2nd graders! Way to go! Pictured are our top readers for each grade!

Our Art room has been updated! A huge thank you to Grant Reformed Church and Christy Hutchinson (our Art teacher) and family for the donations and all the work that was put forth. It looks great!
Our 7th/8th graders are buddies with our kindergartners, they get to "hang out" twice a month. Today, they worked on a project together, the white cross represents how Jesus washed our sins away. Our kindergartners love it when their buddies come to their classroom.
We are hiring! 🎉🎉
As we begin to prepare for the 2023-2024 school year, we are looking for a part-time 2nd grade teacher!

We are excited at this need for our rising numbers! We are grateful to keep our class sizes small for a more individualized education and grow our school at the same time! God is continuing to bless GCS!
