Announcing GoPlaySave!
Get ready for our GoPlaySave fundraiser! 50% of all sales go directly to GRACE PTF to help fund programs and support teachers & students throughout the year! Get amazing savings and support our school at the same time! Be on the lookout for a fundraising packet to come home with your student on Thursday, August 25th.
Our storefront link is available now to create a student link to share with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. Click this link to get started. From the storefront page, click the green button to create a student link to share and receive an email when someone purchases through your student link. If every family sells/purchases 2 books, we will blow our goal out of the water!

GRACE PTF introduces Rent the Rock!
The GRACE Eagles Rock (Lower Campus) is now available for rental and painting! For a suggested donation of $25, rent the rock and paint a message of support for a GCS student, teacher, staff member or event! When you rent the rock, you’ll select the day you want your message to appear. Your rental starts at 4:00 p.m. the day before so you have time to paint the rock after carpool and it’s ready for the next morning! Please note: Dates are available 60 days out on a rolling basis. If your date isn't available yet, please check back inside that window.
