Community Weekend 2021
November 5-8

'Sitting Around the Campfire' is the theme for our first-ever Community Weekend. At the heart of Grace is a commitment to providing a sense of belonging for everyone in our community, and so we encourage you to come and take your seat at the fire, tell your story, and warm yourself by the light of Grace. Whether you live down the street or in another country and no matter your connection to our special little school, we encourage you to participate as a deeply valued member of the Grace family.
No registration required! Mark your calendars and check back on this page for Zoom links and more information.
