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

Speech Meet - (updated 01/27/15)

Speech Meet Information

Every student in the junior high will participate in the classroom speech meets and will be graded according to the judging rubrics.

We will have a selection of ACSI approved speeches from which the students can select.
Speech selections will be made by Christmas break. If a student desires to give a speech not from the provided selections, they must have prior approval.

Classroom speech meets will take place the first week of February. The best speeches will then advance to the evening school meet.
