Yesterday, Representative Joseph Fox came to Grant Christian School and read to our Preschoolers, Kindergartners and First through Fourth grade students. The kids enjoyed hearing him read "Fox in Socks" and seeing him sporting his matching socks!
He also spoke to our middle schoolers about the constitution and what a state representative's job entails. Thank you, Mr. Fox for taking time to come to Grant Christian School.
Please plan on joining us at The Grant Fine Arts Center this Thursday for a FREE presentation from internationally known writer, speaker, apologist and military aviator, Dr. Frank Turek. Mr. Turek will present amazing information on why you can believe the Bible. A favorite comment of the critic is that the Bible is a “2000 year old book of fables.” Come hear Mr. Turek provide rock solid evidence on why you can believe the Bible is the literal word of God. This lecture, followed by a Q & A session will give you confidence to be able to defend your faith. This is a great time to invite a non-believer, skeptic or the Christian that wants to know why we can believe what we believe. Please join us from 6-8. Doors open at 5:30.
GCS will be closed today, March 22, due to weather.

It's March Reading Month! Mrs. Deurloo, an author and a parent of two children at GCS, has been teaching our kids how to write a book, the different types of a book, how to make a storyline, etc. Our kids have been able to work on their books with their chapel groups. She shared with us God is the best author of all time, and most of us have the best selling book in our house, the Bible!
This past Monday we were excited to host local author Jill Barry-Cowan. Jill read to our Preschool through 2nd grade students her "Millie Dreams of Michigan" book.
