Greetings! I hope everyone has enjoyed this past week of mostly spring weather and are gearing up for our Fun Run this Saturday as we take the time to enjoy our school community. It was a pleasure seeing many of you take part in the Knight to Remember which honored three faculty member’s long career of devotion to GCS and the calling of teaching that God has placed on their hearts. Experiencing events like this remind me how amazing it is to be a part of such a hard working and passionate group of indiviuals. Throughout the rest of the school year lots of events, such as this, will be a grand highlight of all the time and energy our students have put into making this year a success and we look forward to seeing everyone come out and support. Keep updated by checking our blog for important dates.
