On Friday, May 29, Grace Christian School held our graduation ceremony for eleven graduates. There were many proud parents, grandparents, and friends as they watched those students walk across the stage. Many years of hard work and sacrifice went into this moment. We congratulate these Seniors and pray they continue to accomplish much in the future.
The K4, K5, and 1st grade classes took an exciting field trip on Monday! The classes visited the Koger Center in downtown Columbia to watch the Classic Children's Production of Charlotte's Web. The kids had a great time. Their favorite part, however, always seems to be riding the bus!
On Friday, GCS took time to honor our grandparents with a special Grandparents’ Day program. The program and day were western themed with western wear and western music. After the program, grandparents and students were dismissed to enjoy a hay ride, book fair, and photo booth. Thanks to all of the grandparents who came and made the day a very special one for GCS!
