What a fantastic night at the Griffin Grill Out! Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the event such a success. We had beautiful weather, great music by The G-Clefs and Blind Soul Productions, delicious food grilled up by some amazing Griffin dads, the teachers who got Pied, the rockets launching and so much fun all around!
A huge thank you to all of the volunteers who gave their time and energy, and to everyone who participated in Chalk the Track — your creativity made the evening even more special. We are so lucky to have such an incredible school community 💚💛
