GESPA: Parents Association

Welcome to a new school year at Grace!

I’m so excited to serve as GESPA President this year and to welcome both our returning families and those who are new to the Grace community. GESPA, the Grace Episcopal School Parent Association, is made up of every family at Grace, and it is one of the many ways we come together to support our students, teachers, and one another.

As the parent association at Grace, everything we do through GESPA is anchored in fun and friendship. We create opportunities for families to connect, make friends, have fun, and build a true sense of belonging.

Throughout the year, there will be lots of opportunities to do just that. We’re looking forward to our Fall Family Social, BINGO! Night, Talent Show, restaurant nights, parent coffees, and other family events, along with opportunities to support our wonderful faculty and staff through Teacher Appreciation and other GESPA activities.

Getting involved doesn’t have to mean taking on a big commitment. Maybe you have an hour to help at an event, want to lend a hand with the uniform closet, enjoy planning or organizing, would like to support our teachers, or simply want to meet more Grace families. There is a place for you!

Most importantly, you don’t have to know anyone, have volunteered before, or have a particular skill to be part of GESPA. Some of the best things at Grace start with a parent simply saying, “I’d love to help.”

Have an idea, want to volunteer, or just want to learn more? We’d love to hear from you at gespa@graceschoolalex.org. We’ll help connect you with an opportunity that fits your interests and availability.

Here’s to a year anchored in fun and friendship!
