Lunch Visitors
Family members are welcome to visit for lunch. If a family member plans to visit, please have the family member contact the school office before 8:30 the day they intend to visit. If they would like to place a lunch order from the cafeteria, they should place that with the office who they call that morning. Visitors can either pay cash at the lunch room ($4/lunch) or have it deducted from the student’s lunch ticket. We do ask that family members keep lunch visits to one per week. When visitors arrive, they should sign in at the Family Life Center and receive a visitor’s pass. Thank you for communicating these guidelines to family members who visit for lunch.
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.
Alexis Hay | Miss Hay joined our staff this year as our Elementary Music and Band Teacher. She is a graduate of Bob Jones University where she received her degree in Music Education. This is Miss Hay’s 4th year teaching. She has ministered in schools in Michigan and Florida. Miss Hay grew up here at Grace, and we are excited to have her back. We are looking forward to many years of service here at GCS with Miss Hay.
Tracy Edwards | Mr. Edwards has over 30 years of teaching experience in schools. He has served in various capacities including teaching and administration roles. This is his 3rd year at GCS. He currently teaches Jr. High English, History, and Bible classes. We are grateful for his continued years of ministry here at Grace Christian School.
