Ms. Jenkins & Ms. Jennah's PK friends have been exploring our 5 senses this week. Today we used our sense of Taste 👅. Our eyes and nose tricked us, the chocolate that looked and smelled so good was actually unsweetened bitter chocolate. 🍫 3 friends actually liked it! The lemon 🍋 was sour until we dipped it into sweet raw cane sugar to cut the tart! We were excited about Cheetos, until our tastebuds realized they were spicy jalepeno Cheetos! About 1/2 the class asked for more!

Boosterthon Update!
What is Boosterthon? Boosterthon is the ONE school fundraiser that Griffis participates in all year! It is a fun Glow Run that all students participate in. All students will receive a t-shirt from PTO. Students can earn prizes for donations and for registering online.
When is the Glow Run? The run is Friday, 9/20 in the gym during Specials time. Please make sure your student wears tennis shoes to run fast!
Can parents/visitors attend? PTO has volunteers signed up for prizes and the water table at the run. Unfortunately, due to space in the gym parents/visitors are not able to attend this event.
What is our goal? Our school goal is 20k, we are SO close at 16k right now! If we reach our goal Mrs. Colwell and Mrs. Gray will get slimed!
Go to mybooster.com today to donate to our school. Thank you for your continued support!
