Hello Titan Family,

It was refreshing having a few new faces behind the Principal's desk this week :). Principal Lainey, Principal Knox, and Principal Kennedy did a fantastic job holding down the for this week and I enjoyed being able to spend the day with them.

In case you missed it, here is a link to the GLOW RUN video which has a similar beginning to the TOTT video. While you're on our FB page, make sure to LIKE and FOLLOW so you can stay up to date on all the cool things that are happening at Grace!

Next week we get to celebrate Thanksgiving and boy do we have a lot to be thankful for! God continues to bless us with amazing parents who are dedicated to partnering with us to provide their children with a Christ-centered education. A phenomenal staff that loves every student that walks down our hallways (and their whole family). A supportive congregation that continually supplies the resources to make Christian Education possible at Grace. Dedicated boards and committees who serve tirelessly to make our ministry run smoothly. A wonderful student body who show up every day eager to grow closer to their Savior through a constant connection to the Word. But most importantly we have a God who loves us and gave his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for us! Our God is an awesome God and there are many in this world who still need to be introduced to him. Perhaps you'll run into one of those individuals over Thanksgiving break - may your words and actions shine bright and point them to their Savior!

Quick Highlights

• Look for First Trimester Report Cards coming home with your child today. A link to sign-up for Parent/Teacher Conferences on December 5 and 6 will be emailed soon as well.
• Monday at 2:00 the Faculty will be taking on the 8th Grade in Bubble Soccer out on the Turf Field. Friends and Family are welcome to come and watch the fun.
• I could use some support in blowing up all of the balls on Monday morning. If you have a pump and/or time on Monday, please get in touch with me. Thanks!
• Wednesday we have an early dismissal. At noon the students will be singing their Thanksgiving song in the 12:00 Worship Service. Students will be dismissed to whoever is picking them up after they sing at the beginning of the service. If you are planning to join us for worship at that time, the kids will just join you in your pew. If you are going home after they sing, please come to the Church entry to collect your child. If you have questions, please let me know.
• We have two new metal picnic tables that need to get assembled before the snow flies. They are on a pallet just outside the PreK parking lot. If this is a project you would be willing to tackle, please let me know.

That's it for this week! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Blessings,

Mr. Beilke
