Welcome to another school year at Grace Lutheran Day School as we “Seize the HOPE set before us!” We are excited as we open our preschool and start off the year under the leadership of the Rev.
Marvin Griffin, an Ordained Minister of The Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod who will be working closely with me, Dr.
LuJuana R. Butts, a Commissioned Minister of The Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod.
I look forward to serving you and your children as their principal.
As we direct our children in the way they should go, we know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens, leads and guides us in serving the children He has placed in our care.
Grace Lutheran Day School is a place where all children are affirmed in the gifts that God has placed in them.
We will seek, find and nurture each child' s gifts in line with the best educational practices as we endeavor to meet the academic and developmental needs of our children.
No child can be successful in school without a partnership with parents and other significant adults in their lives, administrators, teachers and staff who work closely with one another to bring out the best in our children in all aspects of their development.
I encourage your support in this endeavor as we affirm that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
In service to the King of Kings, Dr. LuJuana R. Butts, Principal “Seize the HOPE set before us!”.
