Gryphons Get Vaccinated!

By Noelle McHugh / November 9, 2021

On Saturday, November 6, just days after the final CDC vote, Grace offered a community-wide vaccine clinic for children ages 5-11.

And, parents were incredibly grateful. Special thanks goes to our Safeway friends on the west coast who made sure we had the vaccine in time and to our local Pharmacy Staff who were incredibly supportive throughout the process and gentle as they worked with the children.
