From the desk of Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
Plans for Gala are well under way, so be sure you have your calendars marked for Friday, February 23. Thank you to those who have signed on as Sponsors. Our online auction will be up within a week, the live auction has several new offerings, and the class baskets are awesome. Many thanks to Janelle Snellings and her team of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to plan this amazing event. It's not too late to get involved; please contact the office or Janelle if you would like to get in on the action.
We have a busy week ahead of us, and when we return Wednesday, grades 1-8 will observe Ash Wednesday at 8:00 in Grace Church. As always, parents are encouraged to join us as we begin our Lenten journey.
And finally...I hope that you received and read my communication, "An Open Book." It is my intent to give you an inside look into the happenings at GES and an understanding of best practices, curriculum, classroom activities, and general school life. With each post, I will also suggest a reading that supports the philosophy or simply enhances enjoyment and understanding. Grace School is such a special place for your child to grow and learn; this is an opportunity for us to celebrate together!
Enjoy the Mardi Gras weekend!
Dr. Ricks
