    The Head and the Heart at Back to School Night

    By Grace Episcopal Day School | September 25, 2017
    Parents in classroom

    For most of us, Back to School Night signals the unquestionable start of the school year. Summer is a distant memory (sniff!); our adjustment to early mornings, uniforms, and packing…

    🌽 A week full of Growing Gryphons fun! Our camper 🌽 A week full of Growing Gryphons fun! Our campers are doing it all—exploring the woods, harvesting corn from the garden, and getting creative by using corn husks as paintbrushes 🎨 They also turned their curiosity into action in the kitchen, researching and making their own snacks… popcorn and tortillas for the win! 🍿 And after a day full of exploring, creating, cooking, and tasting—some well-earned rest was definitely in order. Just another joyful (and busy!) week at Grace 💚 #GraceMatters #GrowingGryphons #SummerAtGrace #HandsOnLearning #CampLife
    From garden to paint palette! Today our Growing G From garden to paint palette! Today our Growing Gryphons campers took their exploration to a whole new level—making their own paint from fresh kale and broccoli 🥬🎨 After getting to know the textures, colors, and tastes of the garden, they turned those same veggies into beautiful works of art… though a few campers may have preferred painting with them more than eating them 😄 Hands-on, a little messy, and a lot of fun—that’s summer at Grace 💚 #GraceMatters #GrowingGryphons #SummerAtGrace
    🌱☀️ Growing Gryphons is off to a great start! Wee 🌱☀️ Growing Gryphons is off to a great start! Week one of camp is in full swing, and our campers are already getting their hands dirty in the Community Garden with Mr. Mazza. From planting and harvesting to creating art inspired by what they grow (and of course, tasting it too!), each day is full of discovery, color, and a whole lot of summer joy 🍅🎨 ....and welcome back to some of our former Gryphons as assistant counselors—nothing better than seeing them return 💙 We can’t wait to see what continues to grow—both in the garden and in our campers! #GraceMatters #GrowingGryphons #SummerAtGrace #HandsOnLearning #AlwaysAGryphon
    👏💙 Plot twist… the teachers got a clap out too! B 👏💙 Plot twist… the teachers got a clap out too! Before heading off for a well-earned summer break, our faculty got their own mini clap out—and the energy was very deserved 🎉 After a year of inspiring, guiding, cheering on, and showing up for our students every single day, it was our turn to celebrate them. Thank you, Grace teachers, for all the heart, joy, and magic you bring to this community. Now go enjoy that summer ☀️ #GraceMatters #TeacherAppreciation #ClapOut #SchoolFamily #HelloSummer
