Our FunRun is this Friday and we are closing in on our goal!!! We just have a little bit to go and every little bit helps! Money raised through Boosterthon will help with field trips for all grade levels, purchasing of more bike racks, and classroom needs! Let’s go Griffis and crush our goal!!!
Mrs. Bailey’s 4th grade class earned extra recess for Boosterthon pledges! They had the whole playground to themselves. Keep those pledges coming.
Coffee with the Counselors is tomorrow @ Lee Elementary starting at 8 AM.
Griffis Parents: Our kiddos sure did look cute this morning and smiled BIG for their pictures. The access code to purchase pictures online was sent as a notification through Skyward.
Griffis parents: Hennington’s website is undergoing some updates and is not allowing parents to order pictures online.
You will be able to purchase pictures online when the updates are complete. This could take a couple of weeks. Hennington said there would not be any late fees charged.
You can return the picture envelope with cash or check tomorrow as an option also.
We are sorry for the late notice and the inconvenience!
Our October Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon! The theme is "Bolder. Prouder. Stronger. Reader." It will run from October 10th to 14th.
