A Message From Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
Today was a great day to get your "Glow on!" The pep rally was wonderful. Many thanks to Breanna Young and Ashley Burkett for heading up the Black Out Assembly; the students had a marvelous time.
Next week, master teachers from LA A+ are arriving for an extended visit. We are excited to have the team on our campus and in our classrooms. Starting Wednesday, they will model lessons, work with our students, conference with our teachers, and provide after school professional development. We are so fortunate to be a part of this excellent organization.
We are excited about Thursday's Fall Festival. Please plan to come in costume and bring your decorated pumpkins (carved or painted) and/or your dozen cupcakes for the bake sale/cupcake decorating contest!
Soon, you will receive Annual Fund information. The School Board, Faculty, and Chairs are fully committed to the success of this year's drive. I would urge you to reflect upon how you can support this important piece of Grace Episcopal School Development. Please feel free to visit with me, Liz McQueen, or any School Board member if you have any questions, and know that we are preparing for the further success of your children.
Warmly,
Dr. Beth J. RicksAthletic News - Rick Greene
