Griffin Elementary

The school year has officially ended and we could not be more proud of the year we have had together. Through all the ups and downs, the many challenges, new experiences, and growth we still made it together. We made many memories this year and cannot wait to make more into the next. 📚✨🚌📓✏️

Thank you all so much to our parents, guardians, family members, community members, staff, and students for their loyalty and love for our school. We could not be the school we are without each individual that walks through our doors to pour into our students and their growth academically and developmentally. 🫂

We will post updates throughout the summer with resources and information that may benefit your students so make sure to stay tuned. Our office will be open throughout the summer, Monday through Thursday if you have any registration or back to school needs. ✅

Let’s have a safe and restful summer before we come back to school in August to “BEE AMAZING!” 🐝🌻❤️🦅

Shout out to Mrs. Hotwick, Mrs. Tracie, Mrs. Knowles, and Ms. Henderson for their putting together two raised garden beds outside of our arts building! The students in their classes have enjoyed this project so much since they get to see the garden outside their classroom windows. They have even seen their own caterpillars turn into butterflies in the garden and watch them as they get ready to fly away! 🦋🌱🌼

Thank you to Lowe’s for contributing to this and for these ladies for putting the entire project together! ❤️🦅

Thank you so much to Family Grill who came out to visit this past week with tacos and mini churros for some of our students! Students who randomly won the party were able to have their siblings or family members come along and attend with them as well. 🌮🫂

Thank you so much to Family Grill for choosing us at Griffin and for supporting our students! We appreciate you becoming a part of our Griffin community! ❤️🦅

Thursday, May 28 is our last day of school for students and an early release day! K-5 dismissal will be at 12:55PM and PK dismissal will be at 12:15PM. No backpacks either this week throughout the entire week as we prepare for summer. ☀️🍉🌴🏖️🌊🐚

We wanted to give a very special send off to our fifth graders who have made history this year at Griffin. We are so proud of them and how far they each have come throughout their time with us. It has been our honor to watch each of them grow into the individuals they are today. We wish them nothing but the best and cannot wait to see what their futures hold. 🥹🎓❤️🦅

Summer reading resources for this summer! ☀️🍉📚🏖️🌴🥥📖🌊🐚

PLEASE make sure you keep track of reading resources this summer with your student to ensure they maintain new skills and avoid the summer slide! If you are planning on using online ClassLink resources for your student, make sure you get their login information to work with them over the summer.

We hope to see many students having read over the summer! Stay tuned to see pictures of our teachers and staff finding a good place to read themselves this summer! ❤️🦅
