Mrs. White’s and Mrs. Bochette's Preschool Class Act - "I Am Rooted, Grounded, and Growing" Quilt

This vibrant quilt is a heartfelt collaboration of our preschoolers, with each child’s hand traced in thread, to create a playful, textured pattern. Stitched in GCS’s signature navy and orange, it’s a joyful celebration of young imagination, community, and the lasting mark each little hand leaves. Each child's initials are also embroidered into each handprint. Soft, colorful, and full of personality, this quilt is both a keepsake and a symbol of togetherness in Christ and was lovingly quilted by Mrs. Bochette.

Mrs. Johns's Kindergarten Class Act - Sunflowers

Bright, bold, and full of joyful texture, this framed masterpiece showcases student-made sunflowers. Inspired by the expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color of Vincent van Gogh, each sunflower bursts with personality—no two exactly alike, just like the young artists who created them. Special thanks goes out to Kindergarten mom, Jackie Waters, for her assistance.

Mrs. Fitzgerald’s 1st-Grade Class Act - "In Full Bloom"

Each first grader painted a sheet of cardstock in his/her own special watercolor, creating a vibrant one-of-a-kind design. With the help of dedicated parent volunteers—Kasey Elmore, Melissa Russell, and Samantha Reimold—these colorful pages were carefully transformed into petals and thoughtfully arranged to form one stunning flower in full bloom. Each unique hue represents a GCS classmate, lovingly indexed with photos and signed on the back of the frame—a beautiful symbol of individuality, unity, and the special bond shared this year.
