Mrs. Poteet and Mrs. Willhoit's Class completed a reading passage about Mrs. Baird. So, we had to test out her bread of course! YUM!
This afternoon, Griffis experienced a medical emergency. Paramedics responded, and the campus was briefly placed on hold. The student is okay, and all students and staff are safe and back to their normal schedule. The family of the student has been notified.
Thank you for your understanding.

📢LAST CHANCE!📢
While the Last Chance yearbook ordering deadline was Friday 1-30, we realize the Snow Days leading up to that deadline compromised communication and promotional efforts to clearly advertise that deadline.
Because of that our publisher is allowing you one final opportunity to purchase.
The absolute LAST day to purchase a 2026 yearbook will be FRIDAY 2-20 at midnight.
You may purchase online with the link below!

Today we want to take a moment to recognize someone who makes a huge difference on our campus every single day—Officer Galvan. We are incredibly thankful for his dedication to keeping our school safe and for the heart he pours into everything he does.
Officer Galvan has a big heart, a steady presence, and a genuine love for our students. Little did he know when he started that he would eventually master lunch duty, become an expert at opening all the things, and still somehow keep his sense of humor through it all. 😄
He goes above and beyond—whether it’s supporting our staff, building connections with students, or stepping in wherever he’s needed without hesitation. His kindness, patience, and commitment make a lasting impact on our entire school community.
Griffis is truly a better place because he is part of it.
Thank you, Officer Galvan, for serving our campus with compassion, strength, and a smile. We appreciate you more than you know! 💙👮♂️✨

Griffis sold quite a bit of items last night! We passed out our Dino Collectibles this morning. Make sure your student brings their coupons to school to earn their collectibles. Keep those sales coming.
Our first class to earn The Giant Screaming Dino for the day is Mrs. Winn's class. Marshmallow was excited to have a friend join them today.

✨ Celebrating a Special Moment! ✨
Today, Gunner Allison surprised Mrs. Milton by honoring her as his Fab Fox Most Influential Teacher! We are incredibly proud of Gunner for receiving this recognition, and we are equally thrilled to celebrate Mrs. Milton for her dedication, support, and the high expectations she sets for her students.
It is always such an honor when a high school senior comes back to recognize an elementary teacher who made a lasting impact. Gunner’s family moved to Caddo when he was in 5th grade, making Mrs. Milton his very first teacher in the district—and what a special full-circle moment to see her honored today.
These are the moments that make everything worth it. 💚💚🦊🦊
Student Holiday Reminders!
