Winter/1st Semester Showcase
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 was the First Semester Showcase and we were very happy to see students and parents show there support for Grace King.
Parents participated in games that are performed during pep rallies. Mrs. Quackenbush seen here stacking solo cups against the clock. Dads and Moms competed against each other in a series of pep rally games. The ladies' team dominated.
Thank you to all the fellow parents and students who attended Grace King’s first Student Showcase. The members of Student Council have put their all their effort in perfecting this event. The students prepared several skits, chants, and oxymorons that blew the crowd away. The Kolleens, Cheerleaders, and Irishettes all put up a magnificent performance as well. Many parents participated in several games such as, the Cup Stacking, Tissue Box, and Cup Balloon Blowing Game. The night was filled with all the highlights of the pep rallies Grace King has put together, the first half of the year. We hope to see more participation from the parents for our future student showcases.
