Reflections from Preschool Director, Dawn Munden

A few weeks ago, we had the joy of celebrating our preschool graduates as they prepare to take the exciting leap into Kindergarten this fall. It is bittersweet for me to say goodbye to these kiddos but I am immensely proud of all they have accomplished; their growth, resilience, and accomplishments throughout the year have been truly inspiring. It is with confidence that we send them on to their way to elemenatary school. 

As I reflect on this past school year and my second year as director, one word stands out: thankfulness. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to do this work and absolutely LOVE being part of each family's story. I am thankful for our teachers—the true superheroes of Grace Preschool! Their dedication, kindness, and passion shape everything we do. I am thankful for the children and the endless hugs that brighten each day. And I am thankful for our parents, for their trust, partnership, and support. Thank you to all of you for working alongside us in caring for and educating your children. 

Now that the school year has ended and summer has arrived, we begin our summer program, "Kingdom Safari." We are so thrilled for what's in store this summer with the students! We have planned a lot of exciting activities, special events, splash days, and much more! We look forward to spending the summer with many of our preschool families.

All-American Cheerleader Heads to Rome

Cheerleaders at Grace High School have opportunities beyond the sidelines throughout the year, including service projects, special events, and attendance at a summer cheer camp. During camp, cheerleaders are evaluated over several days by staff members who observe their technical skills in areas such as jumps, motions, tumbling, stunting, dance, and leadership. Selected athletes are nominated to try out for the prestigious All-American Team and, on the final day of camp, perform in front of judges. Those who earn All-American status are then invited to perform at special events around the world.
