More than 300 students at Grace Christian Academy showcased their school spirit last week through games, banners, clothing and a pep rally.
“It really helps them feel like they belong. School is not just about studying,” GCA Principal Faith Dela Rosa said of the weeklong events.
This year’s activities took place earlier in the year in an effort to build camaraderie, she said, adding that it also sets the tone for the year. The theme this year was connecting the head, heart and hands.
“Some people think being in a Christian school is not fun, but God is fun also,” she said.
Dela Rose said the school’s Student Council planned the activities for the week. The Student Council officers are: Andrew Orsini, president; Monique Sablan, vice president; Keith Sablan, secretary; and James Sakamoto; treasurer.
Each day last week students dressed up to match the day’s theme: Monday was color-coordinated day; Tuesday was twins or triplets day; Wednesday was professional dress day; Thursday was wacky dress day; and Friday was class t-shirt day.
Dela Rosa said the students have been preparing bulletin boards and banners in their classes, as well as developing a cheer to present at Friday’s school pep rally.
“They’ve been preparing the cheer since the beginning of the school year,” she said. “They’ve been working very hard.”
