First day of Little Flower

How exciting. Mom and Dad both there to send off Grace on her new adventure at Little Flower. We’re all so excited and have such great feelings that Grace is going to rock 3rd grade. Big thanks to family and friends who have been sending great wishes and encouragement.

Last Day


Today: Grace’s last day at Van Gorder Elementary. We’ve made a change that feels like the right thing to do. Grace will start Little Flower Elementary this year.
Big hugs to everyone at Van Gorder. Teachers, Administration and all the staff. And all the great Red Hawks who have shared great and fun friendships with Grace. We hope those friendships will continue.
