Grace Early Learning Center:

One of the great things about Grace is the ability for children to be apart of our GCS family in our infant through two year old program. Historically, Grace Daycare has been a place of love and growth for many children throughout the year. Recently, we made the decision to rebrand our daycare as Grace Early Learning Center. We believe this change will continue to help families see the great opportunities here at Grace for their children to grow in a Christ-honoring atmosphere.

Have you heard about the GCS Athletic Booster Club yet?

In the middle of last year, a group of dedicated parents and faculty joined forces to form the official GCS Lions Booster Club to support the Athletic program here at Grace Christian School. The booster club comes alongside the current Athletic program to assist from a financial and volunteer perspective to improve the overall athletic program here at GCS.

The booster club is currently raising money through home game ticket sales and concession sales. The booster club is also offering an opportunity for those to purchase a membership into the booster club that starts at $250 for the entire year. You can CLICK HERE to find out more about the membership benefits and the various membership options that are available.

We are always looking for new volunteers to assist at the gate and concessions during home games. Be sure to email booster@gcslions.com to let us know you if you are interested in volunteering or to sign up for the booster club membership.

 

We have so many new faces around GCS this year! Each week for the next few newsletters, we will highlight both a new staff member and a returning staff member to help all of us get to know each other better.

 

Kris Pfaehler | Mr. Pfaehler has served at Grace Christian School for 25 years. He has taught science, PE, and Bible classes throughout his time here at Grace. Currently, Mr. Pfaehler serves as our Athletic Director and also teacher our high school science classes. Mr. Pfaehler served our country in the US Army and our community as an EMT before coming to Grace. He continues to serve our community as a reserve deputy for the Lexington County Sheriff’s department. We are thankful for his many years of service to our country, our community, and Grace Christian School.
