AMAZING GRACE

Hello GCA Families,

November is a great time to focus on thankfulness! This November I encourage you to look for things to be thankful for every day. At GCA we are thankful for our students and their families. We are thankful for the incredible responsibility to partner with families to educate their children. God has been good to us and we have been blessed at GCA!

Thank you to all the VPK - 4th grade parents and family members who went with us to Sweet Pete's! We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to our our 5th - 12th grade Field trip today!

Have a wonderful month and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

God Bless,

Heather Barber

GCA Principal
