Grace 9/11 Remembrance Featured in The Acorn
Grace Elementary remembers 9/11 each year with a moving and well-attended event. Our Principal, Dustin Marvin had this to say: "Showing our students a tangible idea of service on this side of eternity is a great way to educate our students and honor our first responders, doctors, nurses, and military. Ultimately, we want our students to see these servants as an example of the ultimate servant, Jesus Christ. We look to the example of Christ in Matthew 20:26-28, which says, 'It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be first among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.' We are blessed to have so many families in our community who serve us in these capacities every day."

Congratulations to graduated Grace seniors, Ethan LaSecla and Logan Burns for earning the title of "Athlete of the Year" from Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame. We are proud of both these stellar athletes who were recognized not only for their athletic skills but also for their dedication and hard work academically.
It seems like our world is constantly pushing children to grow up faster. But at Grace School, we've taken a different approach. We see childhood as a precious time to be guarded and preserved. This is especially important during the critical transition of the preteens and early teen years. For that reason, we see sixth grade as a special opportunity... a time to prepare our students for the changes ahead.
Grace athletics enjoyed a successful 24/25 year across the board. It is truly amazing to look back at the statistics and realize nearly every one of our teams went to CIF playoffs and several were champions in their league. We want to pursue winning, but at Grace we instill that ultimate success comes by glorifying God through our behavior, attitude, and work ethic.
