    Last Friday, Grace was alive with rhythm and movem Last Friday, Grace was alive with rhythm and movement as Ziva’s Spanish Dance Ensemble brought the energy of flamenco to campus! Students explored expressive dance motions, listened closely to the sounds of the Spanish guitar and castanets, and learned how music and movement come together to tell a story. A few brave Gryphons even stepped up to try out some flamenco moves of their own — and absolutely shined. Moments like these spark curiosity, celebrate culture, and invite students to learn with their whole selves. Olé! ✨ #GraceMatters #WonderatWork #JoyfulChallenge #VoicesThatMakeADifference #GraceAges2to11
    Inspired by the monks who are currently walking ac Inspired by the monks who are currently walking across the country toward Washington, DC, our Grace community took our own Peace Walk today during all-school Campfire. Students began by moving quietly through a beautiful labyrinth created by Grace parent and professional labyrinth creator @discoverlabyrinths, and then continued outside in the crisp winter air. Led by our Kindness Crew and wrapped up with a prayer for peace, it was a meaningful moment of reflection, connection, and calm — a reminder that even small steps can make a difference. #GraceMatters #CourageToCare #CommunityInAction #GroundedInGrace
    Good morning, indeed. 💛 Today’s question on the b Good morning, indeed. 💛 Today’s question on the board invites our students to pause, notice, and reflect on something powerful: *how it feels when our ideas spark something in someone else.* Moments like this—small, intentional, and deeply human—are where confidence, empathy, and belonging grow. ✨ #GraceMatters #Belonging #ReggioEmilia
