The scheduled filming days of October 27 th and November 3 rd were a great success. Makeup crews began work at 9:00 am and when all actors and actresses were ready, the filming began. Most of the outdoor scenes were shot on October 27 th and most of the indoor scenes on  November 3 rd. This was a great learning experience for all involved.
The drama class would like to extend a warm thanks to all parents and teachers who contributed to the film. This film would not have been possible without all of you. The film, To Loved and Be Loved, is in the editing process and more information about the premiere date will follow. Once again thank you for your help.

Geology Class Visits Giboney Cave |
|
|
On October 3rd, the Geology class went to Giboney Cave in Springfield to gain field experience in identifying cave formations. The guide pointed out several unique features, such as flowstones and fossil crinoids, on the ceiling. We were also treated to seeing two albino crayfish (crawdads) that live and reproduce in this cave. Along with the cave sites we spent 10 minutes crawling in the mud tubes. This is a narrow portion of the cave that can only be navigated on your belly that contains a wet, sticky, red mud. As you might guess, this was the most memorable part of the cave as teacher and students alike greeted each other with pats on the back and a helping hand to the face.

 We have been working on a new site at Grace Classical Academy for some time now. We have finally gone live with it and we hope that the improvements you experience over the next few weeks will be beneficial to all the members of the GCA Family. |

 Last month the first graders enjoyed a great experience in archeology. The students spent time digging for buried artifacts that they had created earlier that week. This was an excellent hands-on activity that gave them first-hand exposure to the world surrounding the recovery and preservation of historical artifacts.
