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!

Congratulations, Mrs. Poteet! We are so proud of you and incredibly thankful for the impact you make every day.

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!
