From the Desk of Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
What an amazing week we've had! Feasts, plays, open houses, field trips, spirit rallies, and more! I have loved visiting with all of the parents and grandparents and watching our Gators enjoy such times of fellowship and friendship.
To all who have participated thus far in the Annual fund--thank you so much! If you have not yet had the opportunity to give, I would ask that you please consider and support as you are able. We depend upon the Annual Fund to balance our budget since tuition doesn't actually cover the cost of your children's education. Please know how very grateful we are for your participation at whatever level is possible for you!
In this season of Thanksgiving, I want you all to know how thankful I am for the opportunity to lead this amazing school and be a part of your wonderful children's lives. This is my sixth year at Grace, and I love looking at middle school students whom I have known since they were 6 years old and whom I have watched grow and learn.
I truly believe that Grace is a place in which we see and feel God's presence daily, and I feel blessed to be in this holy place each day.
Wishing you and your families a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
Dr. Ricks
