Linda Givens Elementary PTA

Heyyyy Parents!! It’s our first Parents Night Out of the year!! Since we will already be kid free for the Open House, we are going to take the party over to Lazy Dogs to mix, mingle & continue building our amazing Givens community. This is a kid-free event for the adults! PTA will be covering the cost of apps & non-alcoholic beverages but a cash bar will be available if you feel like spicing it up!

We look forward to seeing you then!!

9/2 6:00pm-9:00pm

🛝 🐻 WELL…WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING.
Our Mystery Grizzly escaped outside today and was spotted on the PLAYGROUND!
He’s read the books. 📚
He’s found the food. 🍎
He’s met the front office. 🛎
And now he’s had recess. 🛝
There aren’t many places left to explore…
And we have a feeling he’s getting closer to what he’s really looking for. 👀 🐾
One more clue tomorrow, Grizzlies. Where do you think he’ll be?

🛎 🐻 BUSTED.
Apparently our Mystery Grizzly decided he needed to find out who REALLY runs this place. 😂
Today’s hiding spot:
THE FRONT OFFICE!
At this point, we’re starting to think he’s interviewing Givens before deciding where he wants to
live.
But while he’s exploring, we have a challenge for our Grizzlies:

🚨 UMMM… HAS ANYONE SEEN OUR GRIZZLY?! 🐻
We had a plan.
Today our Mystery Grizzly was supposed to start getting ready for his first classroom home.
Except…
HE’S GONE. 👀
Apparently, he has a few places around Givens he wants to explore first.
Our Grizzlies got their first clue this morning and tracked him down in the LIBRARY! 📚 🐻
And we have a feeling he’s not staying there for long…
Every morning this week, listen to the announcements for a new clue. Find the Grizzly. Follow
his adventure. And keep growing your Pack.
Because eventually, this bear is going to need a classroom to call home.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS FROM GIVENS PTA 🚨
We had a plan.
Tomorrow, our Mystery Grizzly was supposed to head to his very first classroom. 🐻
There’s just one problem…
HE’S MISSING. 👀
Apparently our Grizzly wants to explore Givens a little more before choosing his first home.
Starting tomorrow, listen closely to the morning announcements. Each day he’ll leave our Grizzlies a clue to where
he’s hiding around school.
🐾 And KEEP GROWING YOUR PACK! Every PTA membership is still being counted toward your classroom total.
Our Mystery Grizzly still needs a home AND a name… and one classroom will get to give him both very soon.
