Who are you thankful for @ Griffis?
We know you have a teacher, custodian, paraprofessional, or a member of the office that you are grateful for. Let's let them know!! We love doing this activity for our staff members in the month of November. One of our Capturing Kids' Heart focus is AFFIRMATIONS. We want our teachers to hear affirmations from parents and families also. A kind statement can go a long way. One of my favorite things to see in the classrooms is affirmations notes from staff members, students and parents visible near their desk. It is a reminder that is needed on those hard days. We will print these out for our teachers and share them for them to have. I promise you, it will brighten their day, week and month!

GT students explored the science of flight through a bat-themed engineering challenge.🦇🦇
Their challenge: design and build wings for a paper bat that could really take flight. Some bats soared, some flopped, but everyone had fun experimenting! ✈️
