Rent the Rock

The Lower Campus GRACE Eagles Rock is available for rental and painting! For a suggested fee of $25, rent the rock  and paint a message of support for a GCS student, teacher, staff member or event! Think outside the box – Teacher Birthdays, Graduations, Positive Messages - in addition to child birthdays, which are always a HIT. All are welcome!
 
 
To rent the rock, first pay your suggested rental fee and then select the date you would like. 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, giving you time to paint the rock after carpool and have it ready for display the next morning!
 
We know there are a finite number of dates, and our community's desire to celebrate our school, students, and staff could outweigh what's available. As you look to reserve a date, especially in the event your first choice isn't available, we ask that you consider celebrating a day or two before or after. If your child’s birthday is in the summer, you may want to celebrate the half-birthday during the school year. You are also more than welcome to share the rock with others. While there is one sign-up per date, it is up to you if you'd like to include a group! 
 
Please remember this is a first-come, first-serve opportunity.  If you find there are no dates available for your intended celebration, please contact the PTF at ptf@gracechristian.net and we'll do our best to find an acceptable resolution.
 
Tips for Painting the Rock
  • Please only paint the front of the rock facing carpool line.  
  • Spray paint is helpful to coat the rock. Any color you want for the background works. And if you mess up, just use spray paint to match the background color and paint it again!
  • You can use stencils or sketch your design in chalk first to check sizing and legibility from a few feet away before you paint.
  • Spray paint works well for larger areas.
  • For smaller, more detailed areas, use acrylic paint (or spray paint with stencils). 
  • In case of rain, avoid paints like tempera that easily wash off.
  • Remember to bring different size paint brushes and a cup with water to rinse them.
  • Egg cartons work well to hold different color paints.
