New Security Measures

 

Grace Academy is now under the watchful eye of 5 security cameras. Remote Monitoring Technologies and Grace Bible Church partnered with the school for this security system installation. This live video stream will be recorded and and monitored 24 hours a day. The next phase is a new front door with special access.  This will allow upgraded security access for families to enter the building. Stay tuned for more details on these new security measures.

Faculty Christmas Purse 

 

In the season of giving, we are reminded of all the things Christ has sacrificed for us. Here at Grace, those reminders are taught all year long. Our children are placed in the hands of our loving faculty at Grace Academy and it is our time to show them our gratitude. The faculty and staff at Grace wipe tears, give hugs, offer encouragement, solve problems and teach our children how to walk a righteous path with God. It is my holiday wish for 100% of families to donate to the Christmas purse so every faculty member enjoys a little holiday cheer from all of us. Please look for an envelope in your child's Monday folder to return your check. This Christmas bonus takes the place of a material gift, so no need to go shopping, just drop a few dollars in the bonus box that is in the front office.

 

Sincerely,

 

Katie Worthy

Christmas Purse Chairperson
