Mrs. Bailey's 4th grade math students have been working hard and having lots of fun to prepare for the STAAR! We are prepared and ready. We even found a testing antidote today to help us not become testing zombies! Mrs. Bailey is so proud of all the students.
Happy Administrative Professional Day!
Today we are celebrating two of the very best—Mrs. Haley and Mrs. Stephanie!
They are the heart of our front office—helpful, friendly, organized, and truly the knowers of all the things. They are the first smiling faces our families see when they walk through our doors, and they set the tone for kindness and care every single day.
They love our Griffis kiddos BIG, support our staff in countless ways, and somehow keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. And yes… they even manage to keep Mrs. Colwell on point!
Griffis is a better place because of these two amazing women, and we are beyond grateful for all they do!

Griffis Elementary is proud to congratulate Kayla Stettner on being named our Employee of the Year!
Kayla began her journey with us as a substitute—and we knew right away we couldn’t let her go! She consistently goes above and beyond for our students, and her ability to build meaningful relationships and connect with them is truly remarkable.
She is patient, humble, and may not seek the spotlight—but she is a bright light on our campus each and every day.
Kayla, we are so proud of you and incredibly thankful for all that you do!
Griffis Elementary is proud to congratulate Lora Poteet on being named our Teacher of the Year!

Congratulations, Mrs. Poteet! We are so proud of you and incredibly thankful for the impact you make every day.
We are grateful for Mrs. Cobb and the time she has given to Griffis this year.
She has been a supportive presence for our students and staff, and we appreciate the care and commitment she has shown. Her efforts have helped support our campus in many ways.

We are so lucky to have the amazing Mrs. Givens as our librarian!
She does so much more than check out books—she creates a space where imagination grows, curiosity is sparked, and a love for reading comes alive in every student who walks through the library doors. From helping our students discover their next favorite book to supporting teachers and bringing learning to life, Mrs. Givens is truly the heart of our library.
Thank you, Mrs. Givens, for inspiring a love of literacy, for your kindness, and for the joy you bring to our campus each and every day. Our school is a better place because of you!
