    👏💙 Clapping them into their next chapter Today we 👏💙 Clapping them into their next chapter

Today we lined the halls for one of our most beloved traditions—our Grade 5 Clap Out. With cheers, smiles, and a few happy tears, we celebrated these incredible students as they take their final walk through Grace.

They’ve grown, led, and left their mark in so many ways—and now they’re off to their next adventure. We are so proud of you, Grade 5. Once a Gryphon, always a Gryphon 💙

And to all of our Grace families—have a wonderful summer! ☀️

    🏅✨ Let the Gryphon Games begin! Field Day was in 🏅✨ Let the Gryphon Games begin!

Field Day was in full swing yesterday as our students took on the Gryphon Games—with all the fun (and a little friendly competition!) you could imagine 💙.

From the obstacle course to sack races, human ring toss, three-legged races, battleship, and more… there was no shortage of energy, teamwork, and smiles all around.

A huge thank you to our amazing parent volunteers for making the day so special—and for keeping everyone fueled with snacks and popsicles 🍦. 

🎉 And a big congratulations to Grade 2, winners of the Grace Spirit Stick for Field Day 2026!

What a day!

    💙 Welcome back, Gryphons! On Saturday evening, we 💙 Welcome back, Gryphons!

On Saturday evening, we loved welcoming back members of the Classes of 2020–2023 and their families to Grace. It was so special to reconnect, see old friends, and hear all about where life has taken you since your time here.

From revisiting favorite spaces to noticing what’s changed (and what hasn’t), it was a night full of memories, laughter, and community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—we loved having you back on your old stomping grounds 💙

    One lucky Gryphon got to step into the role of Hea One lucky Gryphon got to step into the role of Head of School today—helping with carpool, making intercom announcements, visiting the early childhood playground, and even enjoying a special dessert of their choice with the Head of School 🍽️

Safe to say… they took the job very seriously (and had a lot of fun along the way 😄)

We love this Grace tradition 💙. And thank you again to all who supported our raffle!
