Letter From the Editor

Dear Grace Community,

We are thrilled to release this newest edition of Grace Magazine. The return to school being fully in-person has brought with it so many things to celebrate. In the past few months, we’ve enjoyed live performances, winning sports seasons, insightful discussions, field trips and the return of beloved traditions like the Halloween Parade, Holiday Shopping and the Auction Benefit.

This edition covers the start of the school year through the end of February and begins with a message from George Davison about what it means to be an educator today. Inside, you will also learn more about ways that Grace fosters community, watch Grade 2 students interview incoming Head of School Robbie Pennoyer, discover highlights from the performing arts and athletics and find a section shining a light our alumni, including upcoming events and an interview with Charles Best ’90.

We hope that you enjoy experiencing these past few months through this issue. You can always find past editions of the magazine at news.gcschool.org.
