Griffis Week at a Glance: January 16th-20th
Take Care of Texas Kids Art Contest is around the corner. Entry forms are coming home with our Griffis students. Please fill them out, sign them and return to school. Everything will be done during your child's Art Class.
Last year our Griffis student, Chloe Crane, won 1st place for 1st grade and 3rd place overall for ALL Texas students in K-5. Students portrayed positive ways Texans could help keep our air and water clean, conserve water and energy, and reduce waste through Art. Chloe did a fabulous job!
