At GCS, we cherish our parents and invite them to join in the life of the school. In every classroom, parents form a wonderful continuum between school and home. They come to play music or to read a book their child loves; they help three-year-olds bake bread and five-year-olds write in their journals. They supply boxes, paper tubes and plastic bottles that then become boats and castles and knights on horseback.
The Grace Church School Advisory Board, composed of parents, parishioners and members of the community, works with the school director to oversee administration, finance and fundraising.
Parents organize and run at least three fundraisers every year: a festive holiday book fair in December; a bake sale table for the Grace Church fair in February; and a spring event such as a carnival or dinner & auction. In addition, extra hands are welcome for events like food and toy drives, picture day, school-wide celebrations, and classroom feasts.
Parent talent and enthusiasm are always needed to put together fun events for our Grace community. Visit our new & upcoming page to find opportunities to be involved.
