Gator Tales
Grace Episcopal School Vol. 25, March 23, 2017
A Message From Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
What a great time to be a Gator! I am continuously impressed by the level of dedication put forth by your children. The 2nd Grade Biography Day presentations were wonderful. I heard from several students that they did not realize how many people would actually be in attendance to hear their speeches, but I would have never known from the calm, collected way that each spoke. Thanks to Mrs. Posey and Mrs. Starr for the countless hours spent in preparation for this event.
Thank you so much to everyone who has made Teacher Appreciation Week such a festive and gracious experience. From the flowers, to the treats, to the meaningful notes, we have felt the love from you and your children. Your thoughtfulness and generosity is overwhelming, and again, many, many thanks.
I have heard from all of our students and teachers who are away from the campus on various field trips, and everyone has had a good experience. What a wonderful way to begin a much needed Spring Break! I hope that you all have safe travels and relish in your down-time. The return to school brings the final dash to the end of the year and all of the happy madness that comes with it!
With warmest regards,
Dr. Beth J. Ricks
Head of School
