INTRODUCING our 2026 Summer Grizzly Pack Leader! A huge THANK YOU to Alex Baldwin State Farm for supporting our students, staff, and school community all summer long! Your partnership helps make so many wonderful things possible at Vandergriff, and we are so grateful for your support. 💙

A little late posting… but we couldn’t end the year without saying THANK YOU. 💙🐾

What a special year it’s been celebrating 30 years of Vandergriff alongside this incredible community. From events and fundraisers to spirit nights, class parties, and all the fun in between — this year was filled with so many memorable moments and meaningful additions to our school, including the new swings and musical playground spaces for our Grizzlies to enjoy for years to come. 🎶✨

Thank you to every family, teacher, staff member, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who helped make it all possible.

Swipe to the end for a special message from two PTO board members wrapping up their PTO board time at Vandy. 💙

Hope everyone is having the best summer so far…one week in! ☀️🐻

Results are in… and thanks to YOU, we officially hit 100% of our Spirit Night goal! 🎉🐻

From grabbing dinner, shopping local, treating your kids, inviting friends, and showing up for Vandergriff all year long — every single Spirit Night added up in a BIG way for our school. 💙

Thank you to our amazing families and community partners for supporting Vandergriff through every pizza night, sweet treat run, and fundraiser in between. Your support helps make so many fun opportunities possible for our students and staff!

We are so grateful for this community. Go Grizzlies! ✨
