Secondary students will have several opportunities to participate in Valentine’s activities sponsored by the Student Council.  More information is coming soon!

 
  • February 19th is a holiday–No school for students

  • Did you know that we have our own news station?  That’s right….GNN, (Grace News Network) produced weekly by our Student Council.  Take a look at this week’s production.

-Lost and Found Items

The GCA Lost and Found is located in the gym and is quite full.  If your student is missing clothing items, water bottles, books, and or other miscellaneous items, please have them check that area.  Electronics and jewelry items are usually turned into the front office.  All items that have not been claimed will be donated.  

- Do you have outgrown, gently used GCA uniforms or spirit wear that you don’t know what to do with? 

Consider donating those items to GCA. We will be collecting the gently used pants, shorts, skirts, shirts, jackets, and sweaters. All collected items will then be available during a Resale Day at discount prices to parents in August. All funds collected from the resale will go to the Parent Teacher Committee for use with student activities.

Washed and folded items may be dropped off in the front office. For any inquiries or additional information, please contact Ms. Felix at cfelix@gcahtx.com or Ms. White at bwhite@gcahtx.com

Because of your support, we are able to add some fun activities to our calendar.  Students enjoyed National Popcorn Day during lunch last week–Thank you!

The last PTC meeting was this past Tuesday.  We discussed several possible upcoming events like Field Day, Career Day, Harry & Cindy Bryant LEgacy Fun Day and a Spring Book Fair.  Be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities.  We will need your ideas and support to make it all a huge success. 

Looking forward to meeting together with our Parent-Teacher Committee again to accomplish great things here at GCA.  Next PTC meeting will be February 27, 2024 at 6:00 pm on zoom only.

   GOOD LUCK EAGLES

GCA is blessed to have such generous support from our GCA families and community.  We are extremely grateful to:

A GCA family for donating $1,000 of Scholastic funds to purchase additional books for our school library.

Also, a special thanks to our community sponsor, Rainbow Restoration of Webster.  They have provided new lighting in our school cafeteria that looks so bright and amazing!

  


Do you have furniture needs? Purchases at American Furniture ANYTIME OF THE YEAR to support our school!  Please Share with Friends and Relatives. Thanks for your support!

Thank you for the huge amount of support this semester.  Looking forward to meeting together again during the spring to accomplish great things here at GCA!
