The Journey to... Technology Enhanced Classrooms It’s not quite the Journey to the Center of the Earth or even the Journey to Africa, but it will be an Incredible Journey for students and teachers. How can we build on their excellent foundation and also give them the best of technology? At Grace Christian School, we have made our school a success without much money and without much technology. Our teachers and principals have proven themselves in rigorously training children to succeed in good old fashioned traditional education. The Grace educational model is based on loving children, challenging them hard to succeed, believing sincerely in personal responsibility, following all the principles of God’s Word, and striving to provide an engaging education for all. By God’s grace, our model succeeds. 15 How do we define success? 100% of Grace students are trained daily to have a biblical worldview in each subject. 99% of Grace students graduate on time. 95% of Grace alumni attend colleges and universities, many of them pursuing advanced degrees. Grace students passed 90% of their Advanced Placement Exams last spring. With that strong foundation of success, and without losing what we know works so well, we are now poised to excel even more by employing proven best practices in computer-aided education. Tonight, we are asking for your generous help along this incredible 3-stage journey.

Tastefully mounted on a wood base, the tusk is engraved with intricate scrimshaw done by well-known artist George Vukson. The beautifully detailed scrimshaw shows a parade of mammoths. The brownish tone of the ivory is characteristic of mammoth tusks, which tend to have color from centuries of absorbing minerals in the ground. This is a rare find, a collector’s item.
