Today the 5th and 6th graders surprised Mr. Neville with a party for his upcoming birthday! (They are a year ahead; he will be 74) What a great bunch of kids!
We were blessed to have "Ask the Pastor" this morning at Chapel!
Thank you to Mark Nagy from Grant Christian Reformed, Mitch Taylor from Living Stones, and Jordan Chambers from Grant Community for answering our kids' questions. Some of the questions.... was Jesus ever sick, who made God, why were other planets created, who made the sun, what do you like/dislike about being a pastor, etc. You guys rock!
Our 8th graders are enjoying their trip to the ark! What a great experience for them to encounter the stories of the Bible this way!
Second graders loved their ice cream today. They earned another party for showing Jesus to others. Great way to end the year second graders!
GCS 7th and 8th graders are in a program called Men/Ladies of Honor.
This is a class that only 12 other schools in West Michigan are participating in.
The kids meet twice a week, boys with Mr. VZ and girls with Mrs. Oatis.
Last Friday night there was a ceremony in Rockford at City Church for their annual awards ceremony. Students were given awards in courage, character, compassion, leadership and diligence.

Thank you to all of our parents that fed us this week and/or covered our recesses for teacher appreciation week. We appreciate you!
The third and fourth graders cleaned out the flowerbeds in front of the chicken coop. They then planted cosmos and zinnias in one flower bed to attract butterflies, and in the other bed, they planted parsley, dill, and carrots. These will attract swallowtail butterflies.
Our first and second graders thoroughly enjoyed Boulder Ridge today, despite the rain!
This week is teacher appreciation week! We are so blessed at GCS with a great teaching staff! Let's take some time this week to show them our appreciation! 💙
Thank you for coming out to National Day of Prayer!
The Grant Christian School email was hacked. If you receive an invitation to open a document/bid from GCS, do not open it.
This morning, we had "Ask the Pastor" for Chapel. Pastor Kevin from Grant Christian Reformed Church and Pastor Jamie from the Vine were our guest pastors. Kids ask the greatest questions! Thank you, pastors, for great answers!

First graders enjoyed lunch outside today!
Today was visit day in Kindergarten! The Preschoolers got to come see what it is like to be a Kindergartner! They played, they learned, and even had some adventures!
Today our Kindergartners made a new little friend and had a little lesson on taking care of God's creation! Mrs. Knol found this little friend trying to come into the school building and used it as an opportunity to teacher her class about how God calls us to take care of his world and creation!
Today we are thankful for this beautiful weather, the beautiful world God created, new little friends and simple joys! ☀️🐢
March was reading month! Today the top readers were able to go out to lunch with Mr. Vander Zanden and Mrs. Dickerson. Thank you Andrea's for a great lunch!
Today our Kindergartners took a trip to see the butterflies at Fredrick Meijer Gardens! 🦋 They have been learning about insects and loved learning all about butterflies this week! They were so excited to see so many different kinds today! God's creation is so beautiful! 🦋
Today we celebrated Good Friday at GCS. The lights were shut off and we walked silently over to the gym. Mr. Nagy led us through the last hours of Jesus Christ's life. Jesus paid for all of our sins as he was crucified on the cross. He could have saved Himself, but He was willing to make that horrible sacrifice for each one of us. We are so thankful for Good Friday!
