Connecting People to God's Grace

FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear Grace Family,

What a wonderful week we’ve had at Grace! God continues to bless our students with so many opportunities to learn, grow, and enjoy time together.

We started the week by joining in the fun at the Michigan Lutheran Homecoming Carnival. Students had a blast playing games, winning prizes, and—of course—many enjoyed the chance to pie Mr. Avila! Laughter and smiles filled the evening, and it was a joy to see our Titan Family come together.

Our younger students, Preschool–2nd grade, went on a special field trip to South Bend to see Charlotte’s Web. What an exciting way to connect classroom learning with the arts! Meanwhile, our 7th–8th graders had the opportunity to experience what it’s like to be a Michigan Lutheran Titan for a Day, giving them a glimpse into the next step of their educational journey.

We are also celebrating the kickoff of Titans on the Track! This is always one of the highlights of our year, and we are thrilled to share that in just the first week, over $4,000 has already been donated toward our $20,000 goal. What an incredible blessing—thank you to everyone who has supported this effort so far. Together, we are making a difference for our students and school.

Finally, a quick schedule reminder: Next week, we will have school on Monday and Tuesday only as our teachers attend the Teacher Conference for the remainder of the week.

God continues to shower us with His goodness, and we give thanks for the many blessings of this past week.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." — Psalm 107:1

In Christ,

Mr. Avila
