Dear Grace Families,
I hope you are doing well on this hot and humid week!
Whole School Field Trip - Information about the whole school field trip to Urban Air in Grand Rapids was sent out this past week. Because we are taking all of the students, we need a lot of drivers. Please sign up today so that we can plan accordingly! We will be leaving school at 8:30am on Friday, September 18 and will get back home shortly before the end of the school day.
Patriotic Day - Next Friday is the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. It will be patriotic day at Grace. Please wear red, white, and blue.
Cruisin’ at Grace Car Show - The 9th annual Cruisin’ at Grace Car Show is next Saturday, September 12. Our students have a chance to get involved with this great event!
NATIONAL ANTHEM - Grace students sing the national anthem at the car show. If you are able to attend, please meet in Mrs. Thorson’s room (room 6) at 8:45 so that they may practice before singing at 9:00.
“BRING YOUR KIDS’ WHEELS TO THE ULTIMATE CAR SHOW!” - Rev up the fun and roll into our car show with your kids' coolest rides! Whether it's a zippy Power Wheels, a mighty tractor, or any awesome wheeled creation, we want to see those mini machines shine! Join us for a day packed with family-friendly excitement, where your little drivers can show off their wheels, compete in fun challenges, and make unforgettable memories. Don’t miss the chance to be part of the action—bring those kids' wheels and let’s cruise together at the Cruisin at Grace Car Show!
There will be three categories to vote this year:
- Most Unique
- Best in Show
- Most Patriotic
Please register your child’s wheels by contacting Jackie Wagner (wagnerjaq@gmail.com or 269-277-3926). Your child can register the day of the event. There are goody bags for those that register regardless if you pre-register or not. If you have any questions at all, please contact Jackie.
Hot Lunch - Hot lunch begins this week! Please contact the office if you have any questions.
PIE Meeting - Thank you to everyone who attended our first PIE meeting this past week. Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 1 at 8:22am. If you are able to help with Titans on the Track on Friday, October 9, please reach out to PIE (gracelutheranpie@gmail.com).
Chapel Mission Offering - Our mission offering this semester will support Anchor Church in Marquette, MI! Anchor Church started out small with just two souls in a rented facility in downtown Marquette. Just two years later, they had outgrown that space and purchased a former funeral home, which they are now renovating into their permanent church home!
Our chapel offerings and prayers will help support this exciting project as they complete the renovation, create a welcoming space to invite more guests, improve their technology, and continue to grow in their new permanent home.
Your Friday offering—whether great or small—will be a huge blessing to Anchor Church! Every gift can make a difference. And if you are unable to give, your prayers are just as valuable and deeply appreciated!
MealTrain - Grace parent Jaramee Peppers recently had surgery and will be laid up for four to six weeks. In order to help the Peppers family, a meal train has been organized. If you are able to provide a meal or a gift card, please click here. Thanks!
