Today we were able to have two Star parties. Our first grade and second grade classes, both earned parties for getting 55 stars. Students can earn a star for getting caught in the act of kindness.
Once they collect 55 stars they earn a party.
Second grade had a Root Beer/Fanta orange, ice cream float party.
First grade had an ice cream with toppings and a movie party.
Both classes were able to wear their pajamas to school.
Way to go first and second graders!
Pastor Kevin brought us the message today in Chapel. He talked to us about studying the Bible to help us when temptation comes our way. When Jesus was tempted by Satan, He went right to the scripture when tested!

Today was daddy donut day in the preschool class! The kids were so excited to have their dads come and spend the morning with them. The Dad‘s were able to see what their kids do in school and were able to get in on some fun projects and were even able to attend gym class and have their faces shaved! The morning ended with a great devotion by board member Mike Bouwkamp along with yummy donuts. Thank you so much to all the dads who take time out of their work schedule to come spend time with their children.
To be young again and so excited to be out in the snow!
Another GCS student eager to serve!
1st grade and 5/6 reading buddies! Talked about who MLK Jr. was, what he did, and how we can show kindness to others like he did.
Thomas brought us the message in Chapel today.
Some key points:
Jesus came down as a baby knowing he would die.
He gave up his life knowing people wouldn’t even believe in Him!
He wanted to do the will of God.
Addy, Piper, Josiah, Thomas and Pastor Jordan led us in live worship! What a great way to start a Wednesday.
Today in J term the Introduction to Engineering group experimented with their egg drop contraptions.
They were successful with each drop!
Today was Worship Wednesday at GCS. It was so good to be back together worshiping God.
Anya reminded us that it is a new year, but God never changes. The same God that parted the Red Sea is the same God we worship today!
We also handed out prizes to our kids that "got caught being kind" in the month of December.
First graders can use many tools to learn math facts!

Pastor Jordan Chambers led chapel today. Here are a few highlights:
Why did God choose Mary?
We heard a lot of different reasons from the kids 😊
Besides her obedience and lineage we really don’t know why!
God saved the entire world by giving us his son through Mary. Mary didn’t even know why God chose her.
She wasn’t perfect, she loved God! God tells us he can do mighty things through us.
Mary chose to obey God even when it was scary. There are many things that God can do but he chooses to use people to do them. A lot of times He uses just ordinary people!
What in my life can I do to give credit to God?
God wants to use us, but
it's still up to us.
Be like Mary! God wants to use us for His glory.
Cold recess today!
GCS will have a two hour delay today due to road conditions. Thank you for your understanding!
GCS will be closed today due to weather! ❄️ We will update you as soon as possible about the concert. Thank you for your patience!
