GCA Celebrates Grandparents' Day & Veterans' Day

GCA's 3rd Annual Grandparents Day was a huge success with over 300 in attendance!  This year we wanted to do something a little different and decided to host Grandparents' Day on November 11th and honor our Veterans with a special program.  Everyone enjoyed an amazing day starting with wonderful goodies prepared by Lisa McLendon; classroom visits; a heartwarming 
performance called "United We Stand" presented by the entire elementary school; a special video presentation honoring our veterans; Foundation comments by Dr. Mallory McRae; and beautiful performances by the middle and high school choir, praise band, and strings program. Many thanks to the GCA Foundation and GCA's awesome Faculty and Staff for another great event!!
