A week at a glance:

We celebrated Good Friday and Easter at Family Time this morning…led by Mr. Mark Kuiper, GRCHS chaplain.  It was a time of praise to God and reflecting on His great love for us shown through Jesus, our Savior.

This is a special week where all students will be divided into groups and will go to different sessions around school based on our theme “Celebrating God’s Kingdom”!
