MARYSVILLE — The staff of Grace Academy hopes that appealing to the community’s sweet tooth will make local parents sweet on their school.

Grace Academy’s biannual Preview Dessert night takes place Feb. 24, starting with a tour beginning at 6:15 p.m. in the Grace Bible Church Fellowship Hall, and followed by the actual presentation of the Preview Dessert.

“It’s an opportunity for families to come out, view our campus and meet with our administrators and teachers,” said Gail Martin, admissions director for Grace Academy. “You can be informed about our curriculum during a delightful dessert.”

Although Grace Academy is currently in its 32nd school year in the Marysville community, Grace Academy Administrator Timothy Lugg hopes to dispel any misconceptions that might still exist about the school.

“A lot of times, people think of private schools as elitist or difficult to get into,” Lugg said. “Our education is accessible, and our student body is representative of the community at large. We offer excellent academics and extracurricular activities in an environment that nurtures the spirit.”
