Grace Prep
School Notes Overview:
At Grace Prep, we believe that schools cannot teach truth effectively if they don’t acknowledge Jesus Christ as the foundation for all Truth. Truth hasn’t changed since the earth was created, so we haven’t created our own statement of faith. We’ve adopted one that’s been around for a while. The Apostles' Creed received its title because of its great antiquity. It dates from very early times in the Church, a half century or so from the last writings of the New Testament. Students at Grace Prep will memorize the Creed and learn to view everything through it—from how to respond to a basketball defeat to why we should use mathematics to defend the Creation of the world. At this point, we decided to split up into groups to pursue various adventures. Bob led an expedition to Korea Town where we found some amazing Asian cuisine. Some of our Korean students helped guide the Americans in our group through the menu to the delight of our palettes. Other students looked out onto Times Square from the second level of the ESPN Zone. Still others enjoyed the sumptuous fare of the Hard Rock Cafe....
