Grand Rapids Christian Middle School Principal's Corner

Staff Appreciation Week

I join all of our students and parents in celebrating Staff Appreciation Week! Because I am not only the principal here but a parent of one current student, two future students, and a graduate, I have seen first-hand in my own family's life the impact that this group of Christian adults committed to working together as a community of faith and learning can have on the lives of children.
 
As a principal, I am blessed to know that each member of the GRCMS staff is committed to our Kingdom-building mission, cares deeply for kids in the middle of the journey of adolescence, and supports and encourages both their students and each other in the joys and struggles of life.
 
We are not perfect and we make mistakes, but we also hold one another accountable in our work to help students to grow into the young women and men that God has created them to be. Thanks for sharing your children with us, the GRCMS staff, and for allowing us the opportunity to partner with you in their growth and maturity as Kingdom servants.
 
And thanks for all of the blessings from the PTO and parents this week during Staff Appreciation Week! We are very blessed and grateful!
