Remember to wear your "Bee Kind" T-shirt on Fridays, or any previous Grace Friday t-shirt.

With this colder weather, we have found many unclaimed jackets and sweaters due to names not being in the clothing. Parents, please, please label everything that belongs to your child. It is the only way it can be returned.

December 6th at 6:00 PM is our Preschool Christmas Musical! This annual event is one you will want grandparents and friends to see so let them know also to save the date!

Remember, Preschool closes at 5:00 PM that day.

We will be giving you more information soon....

Do you need Scrip gift cards at the grocery store to buy those yummy Thanksgiving foods and supplies?

How about scrip for a Christmas gift or stocking stuffer? If so, now is the time to order it. If you wait too close to the big day, there might not be the selection you want or need. Why not make your order now to help things go smoothly?

The order form can be found HERE and in the school office. The Business Office will contact you when your scrip is ready for pick up.

Remember, any item that has a black asterisk on the Scrip Order Form is a special order and needs to be ordered now for it to arrive in time.

Our last order for Thanksgiving will be made the morning of Monday 11/14 and our last special order for Christmas will be made Monday 12/12 to get here in time.

Don’t wait, get what you need now and have a wonderful holiday season!

I would like to thank all of the volunteers for their help and hard work to make the book fair a success this fall. With the fundraising efforts, we were able to purchase 100+ new books to update our school library. Wow, that's awesome! Thank you for supporting our school in offering students a wide variety of topics to read about. Please feel free to request items you hope to see in the library in the future. Happy reading! -Mrs. Endermann

Cold and flu season is upon us. Health officials are warning there may be high levels of influenza compared to the past two years when COVID-19 precautions helped keep flu infections low. As a reminder, please do not send your child to school if they are feeling sick or experiencing symptoms of a virus. Keeping your sick child home will be a great benefit for the health and wellness of our students and staff. As you know, we here at Grace have a two-day rule that is helping us keep illnesses down and it is working very well. Your commitment to following this rule stops the spread and keeps more children in school.

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk of serious flu complications. Symptoms of influenza can vary, but generally include a high fever, headache, chills, body aches, sore throat, and cough.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers these tips to prevent influenza:
● Get vaccinated every year
● Avoid close contact with sick people
● Frequently wash hands with soap
● Stay at home if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms
● Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
● Individuals with chronic health issues and/or individuals experiencing severe symptoms should be evaluated by a medical professional.

The influenza vaccine is available at doctors’ offices and retail pharmacies and is covered by medical insurance. People with no health care coverage can get vaccinated at one of the County’s six public health centers or a local community clinic. To find the nearest location, visit the County’s Flu Vaccine Locations page or call 2-1-1 San Diego. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated every year.

Grace Christian will continue to work with local health officials to share helpful information.
