GRACE ACADEMY'S PURPOSE:
EDUCATING FOR LIFE; IMPACTING FOR ETERNITY


Welcome Junior High Families,

The purpose of The Beak Blog is to provide information, updated information is the goal. Many of the blog posts will remain throughout the years. These are generally event posts. We will try to update these posts each year as the specific event approaches. Other posts will remain for a week to two weeks and these posts will share information about current happenings most specifically in regard to junior high classes. We will also use this blog to make announcements.

For communication purposes it is still valuable to utilize many tools. Please continue to read the Eagle Flyer and email blasts that come from the school. Also, feel free to email our teachers at any time.

It is our desire to continue to improve the communication between the school and our families. Please become a follower of The Beak Blog so that you will receive and updates as they are published.

God's Blessings to you and your families,

Timothy Pearce
Secondary Vice Principal

"8th Grade Celebration" Information - (updated 03/28/13)

The 8th Grade Celebration is a special evening meant to celebrate the work that Christ has done in the lives of our 8th grade students and their parents. You will receive a formal invitation in the mail as the event nears. It takes place in June and falls on the Saturday evening following the Friday of Senior Graduation.

The meal portion of the evening is for parents and 8th grade students only. As much as we would like to accommodate all family members, it is just not possible. No exceptions! If you have more than two parents, please contact Mr. Pearce and we will be happy to make those accommodations.

As the meal comes to a close, we will have a short program, multi-media presentation and presentation of certificates.

The dress for this evening is as follows:

1 Peter 3:3-4 (ESV)
3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.

Young Men:
• Dress pants, no jeans of any color.
• A button-up-the-front shirt and a neck tie. This is the minimum.
• Suits and Tuxedos are allowed but not necessary.

Young Ladies: The most important thing is overall modesty at the neckline, sleeves, back, and length.
• Necklines should not be low or revealing. Make sure to check from above.
• No spaghetti straps, strapless of halter top dresses are allowed.
• Sleeveless tops are fine provided the style and cut of the dress is modest and the above guidelines are adhered to, but check arm holes so that nothing is revealing – especially when you sit. Modest tank styles are fine.
• Any back openings cannot be lower than the normal line of the bra.
• Length is to the top of the knee-caps including slits.

1 Corinthians 10:31 (ESV)
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
