FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Hi Agritopia Families,
As we near the end of this school year together, I’m continually reminded of the beautiful partnership we share, one rooted in our common desire to raise children who love, know, and follow Jesus. Here at GCS, we are not just educating minds; we are nurturing hearts and planting seeds of faith that we pray will flourish for a lifetime.
From the youngest students in Pre-K to our leaders in 8th grade, each child is growing in both knowledge and character. But more importantly, they are being shaped by the truth of God’s Word. Whether it’s through Bible lessons, discipleship groups, chapel worship, or the way we treat one another on the playground, our goal is always the same: to point our students to Christ in all things.
Of course, this work doesn’t happen in isolation. You, as parents, are your child’s first and most important teachers. The conversations you have at the dinner table, the prayers you whisper at bedtime, the way you model grace and forgiveness; all of these are the daily rhythms that reinforce everything we are striving to teach here at school.
Galatians 6:9 encourages us: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Together, as home and school, we are cultivating a foundation that is rich soil for spiritual growth. And though we may not always see the fruit immediately, we trust that God is at work in each of their hearts.
Thank you for the way you support your children, our staff, and our mission. May we continue to walk together in faith, trusting that the seeds we plant today will yield a harvest for God’s glory in the years to come.
Educating with eternity in mind,
