Grace Lutheran School, Portland OR

Class of 2026! 💙💛🦅

Today we celebrate our amazing 8th grade graduates and all the hard work, faith, friendships, and memories that brought them to this milestone. We are so proud of each of you and cannot wait to see the plans God has for your future!

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11

What a fun day for our 7th and 8th graders! They spent the day completing a scavenger hunt around Tillamook Creamery and then spent some time at a beach nearby! No better way to end the school year. Check out some of the fun moments caught on camera.

You are invited! Please join us and celebrating Lynn Kraklow as she retires from 31 years of loving and faithful service here at Grace Lutheran school. We will be having a potluck lunch on Sunday, May 31. Hope to see you there!

As we get ready to end our school year and move into summer, our Girls of Grace all came together this last week for ice cream sundaes and candy "salad" while enjoying fellowship with each other and our leaders. What a blessing it has been for these girls to grow in their faith and friendships!

Only a couple pictures were taken, but that's because too much fun was had!

Last month, Mr. Henning attended Evergreen's auction and won a pizza party for his class courtesy of former Grace teacher, current Evergreen Mission Advancement Director, Ryan Schmeling. Today, Mr. Schmeling delivered that and more as he and the 7th and 8th graders along with our 6 kindergarteners ate pizza, cookies, chips, and played 2 different games!

We love seeing this connection with Evergreen be celebrated and enjoyed and are so thankful to have had so much fun today! Thank you for your partnership, Evergreen!

To all of the moms, and especially the moms of our students, Happy Mother's Day!

To end our Teacher Appreciation Week, we show our love and support for our two upper grades teachers, Mr. Jo and Mr. Henning!

These two work hard each and every day both in the classroom and out of the classroom with extracurriculars!

Enjoy a few of the phrases their students find memorable.

Today, we show our thankfulness for our 3rd and 4th grade teacher, Mrs. A!

Her love of God is evident in all she does and we are thankful for her dedication she shows each and every day!

Her students had many phrases they know well, so enjoy these few!

Today we show love and appreciation to our 1st and 2nd grade teacher, Ms. Shambeau!

She was a fresh graduate who came to us this school year and she hit the ground running! Her classroom is full of fun and laughter as her kiddos enjoy learning.

Enjoy reading what her students say are her most used phrases.

Next up, we are showing our love and appreciation for our Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Leitzke!

Thank you for your dedication with not only our next group of young learners, but also for teaching the older grades art, all of your work with any fundraiser we do, and for taking charge when it came to directing music! You are such a blessing to our school!

Mrs. Leitzke's students were asked what some of her most used phrases are, so please enjoy their answers!
