One basketball coach, two championships! The GCS girls and boys basketball teams took home the first place trophies from the Western Michigan Christian school tournament. Way to represent GCS!
Third and Fourth Grade Highlight - This past week the third and fourth graders have been very busy! The third and fourth graders this year have been learning to play recorder through the Link Up Program in association with West Michigan Symphony. They had a music mentor from the West Michigan Symphony come to show them what instrument she plays in the symphony and what role her instrument plays in the symphony. They really enjoyed her playing her flute and Piccolo.
They also spent some time doing some hands on learning of multiplication and division through teddy bears and crafts. Much harder than it looks!
In science they are learning about rocks and minerals that we find on the surface of the earth. They had to make a conglomerate, a kind of rock. We will use this for several experiments later on in our unit. They had fun getting their hands very dirty!
Phys. Ed. Highlight - The purpose of Phys. Ed. at GCS is to educate minds, develop healthy bodies, promote positive attitudes towards lifetime physical activity, fitness, and sports skills, and glorify God for giving us bodies which are capable of incredible things. With a quality physical education program, each student is empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to make responsible lifestyle choices that directly impact their health and well-being.
Preschool Highlight - The kids in the preschool class had their dad's come spend a morning with them for Daddy Donut Day! The dads spent the morning finding out what it is like in the day of a preschooler at Grant Christian. They were able to do morning worksheets, projects, painting, Bible story time, play time, and they even got their faces shaved! The morning ended with everyone eating donuts. It was a great day!

Every year Ashland-Grant Fire District, Dollar General of Grant, and Grant Police Department along with generous community members partner together to spread some Christmas cheer to families of our community.
