We had a great first few days of school but.......we are ready for the weekend! Enjoy your time and we will see you on Monday!
Griffis Week at a Glance: August 19-23



Today, we worked in teams on a STEM Challenge called, Saving Fred!




Griffis is thankful for the Tea Drop today! It was a great pick me up to the 2nd day of school. We have the best community that goes above and beyond to support us.

Mrs. Dennison's and Mrs. Lee's 4th Grade Class worked on creating Social Contracts today. We talked about how we would like to be treated and how we should treat others in the classroom. We came up with a list of words that we can refer to to help us make the best of each day.

Griffis is grateful for Mrs. Colwell and Mrs. Gray's mommas. Nanny Teresa and GiGi Jill catered Texas Roadhouse for our staff lunch today. They do so many other things for our campus: copies for teachers, volunteer for events, cleaning and organizing our office area, bulletin boards, tagging our staff gifts, subbing, helping with grandkids and anything else we may ask of them! Our staff is so thankful for their continued love and support!
